The Multiquip 2147700210 Magnetic Switch is a genuine OEM component designed for the GA-6RE and GA-6REA portable generators. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this switch meets the original engineering specifications for these units, ensuring a correct drop-in replacement with no guesswork on fitment. If your generator is failing to start, dropping out unexpectedly, or showing signs of electrical switching issues, the part is the verified OEM part to restore proper operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Electrical Specification — Manufactured to the exact switching voltage and current rating required by the GA-6RE and GA-6REA, ensuring proper circuit actuation every time.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Connects to the existing wiring harness and mounting position on GA-6RE and GA-6REA portable generators without alteration or adapter hardware.
- Confirmed Fitment — Verified compatible with the GA-6RE and GA-6REA portable generator models.
- Restored Starting and Switching Performance — A failed magnetic switch can prevent the generator from starting or cause the unit to cut out under load; this OEM replacement returns the control circuit to full working condition.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — As a genuine OEM switch, this component meets the original insulation and contact rating standards, reducing the risk of arcing, overheating, or nuisance tripping in the generator's control circuit.
A magnetic switch is an electrically operated relay that uses an electromagnetic coil to open or close a high-current circuit — in a portable generator, it typically controls power to the starter motor or a primary load circuit. When energized, the coil pulls a contact plate closed, completing the circuit and allowing current to flow. When the switch fails, the generator may crank without starting, refuse to engage at all, or lose power unexpectedly, making it one of the first components to inspect when diagnosing starting or control system faults.
