Description
Righill Schneider K1F006A Synchro Switch
The Righill Schneider K1F006A Synchro Switch is a complete built-up switching assembly designed for generator synchronization and SCR panel applications. The assembly is manufactured using Schneider Electric cam-switch packets or contact elements, while the switching sequence, contact program and final assembly configuration are proprietary to Righill.
This product is supplied as an assembled synchro switch rather than as individual Schneider Electric switch components. It is intended for maintenance, repair and replacement applications involving compatible Righill generator panels, SCR control panels and industrial drilling-rig power-control systems.
Complete Built-Up Synchro Switch Assembly
The supplied product is a complete built-up assembly. Schneider Electric K1F006A components are used as the base switching elements, but the final contact arrangement is configured according to the Righill synchronization-switch program.
The Schneider part number identifies the cam-switch body or switch packets used in the construction. It should not be interpreted as the manufacturer part number of a standard Schneider synchro switch with the complete Righill operating sequence.
Customers ordering this product will receive the assembled switch configuration rather than loose packets requiring field assembly. This helps ensure that the contact sequence and switching program correspond with the applicable Righill generator-control arrangement.
Application in Generator Synchronization Systems
A synchro switch is used within generator control systems to support synchronization-related switching functions. Before a generator can be connected to an operating electrical bus, relevant electrical conditions such as voltage, frequency, phase sequence and phase relationship must be checked and controlled by the complete synchronization system.
The Righill Schneider K1F006A Synchro Switch functions as part of the generator panel control arrangement. Its exact electrical operation depends on the proprietary contact program, panel wiring and generator synchronization circuit designed by Righill.
This switch should not be treated as a universal synchronization controller or a standalone synchronizing device. It is a programmed mechanical switching assembly intended to operate within the original generator and SCR panel circuit.
Schneider Electric K1F006A Switch Components
The assembly uses Schneider Electric K1F006A cam-switch components from the Harmony K range. The K1F006A reference is associated with a 22 mm plastic cam-switch body featuring six poles, an off position, a 45-degree switching movement and a rated thermal current of 12 amperes.
These Schneider components provide the mechanical switching platform used to construct the complete Righill synchro switch. However, the final number of operating positions, contact sequence, terminal functions, handle arrangement and identification plate must correspond with the Righill-built assembly.
For this reason, purchasing only a Schneider K1F006A switch body will not necessarily provide a functional replacement for the complete Righill synchro switch assembly.
Proprietary Righill Switching Program
The switching program used in this assembly is proprietary to Righill. The term switching program refers to the sequence in which the individual contacts open or close as the switch handle moves between its operating positions.
This programmed contact sequence is essential because the switch must communicate correctly with the generator panel wiring, synchronizing instruments, control relays and associated SCR system components.
Even when two switches use similar Schneider packets, they may perform different functions if their cams, contact sequence or terminal assignments are different. Replacement should therefore be based on the complete Righill assembly specification rather than only on the Schneider component reference.

Compatibility Verification
The Righill Schneider K1F006A Synchro Switch must be compared with the original installed assembly before ordering. The Schneider K1F006A reference alone is not sufficient to verify complete compatibility because the switching program is configured by Righill.
Customers should check the front legend, handle positions, terminal numbering, number of packets, contact arrangement, mounting dimensions and all available Righill identification markings. Clear photographs of the front, rear, side and terminal arrangement can help confirm the correct assembly.
The generator-panel model, electrical schematic and switch wiring diagram should also be reviewed whenever available. Any difference in the contact sequence can cause incorrect panel operation or damage to associated control equipment.
Installation and Safety
Installation should be performed only by qualified electrical personnel familiar with generator synchronization circuits and SCR control panels. The generator panel must be fully isolated from all electrical sources before the existing switch is removed.
Each wire and terminal should be identified before disconnection. Terminal references must be transferred carefully to the replacement assembly according to the original wiring diagram. The switch should be mounted securely without placing excessive mechanical stress on the shaft, packets or terminal screws.
After installation, continuity and switching-sequence tests should be completed before the generator-control system is energized. Final operational testing must follow the approved commissioning procedure for the applicable generator and SCR panel.
Ordering Information
When requesting the Righill Schneider K1F006A Synchro Switch, specify that a complete built-up assembly is required. The request should include the product description, Schneider component reference K1F006A, required quantity and all available Righill switch or panel references.
Photographs of the existing assembly, terminal configuration and front identification plate should be provided whenever possible. The supplied assembly will use Schneider switch packets and the proprietary switching program owned by Righill.
Individual Schneider packets should not be ordered as a substitute unless the purchaser has the correct Righill contact program, assembly instructions and technical capability to reproduce the original switch configuration.
