The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM DPST Switch designed for the GP and GPS series portable generators, including the GP3800A, GP3800, GP4000, GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, and GPS6600A. As a factory-sourced component, this switch is manufactured to the exact specification Wacker Neuson uses in original production, ensuring a direct, compatible installation in the electrical panel of your generator. This part covers an extensive range of GP and GPS series configurations — standard, wheel kit, electric start, CARB, EPA, and CSA variants — so confirm your machine number before ordering.

Key Features

  • Exact Electrical Specification — Genuine OEM sourcing means this DPST Switch carries the correct contact rating, pole configuration, and switching capacity required for safe generator output control.
  • Direct Panel Replacement — Engineered to seat and connect in the existing switch mounting position on GP and GPS series control panels without modification to wiring harnesses or brackets.
  • Broad GP and GPS Series Coverage — Fits GP3800A, GP3800, GP4000, GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, and GPS6600A generators across standard, wheel kit, electric start, CARB, EPA, and CSA configurations.
  • Restore Full Output Switching Function — A faulty DPST switch can prevent the generator from delivering power to connected circuits or cause unreliable load switching; replacing it with part 5000161309 restores normal operation.
  • Electrical Safety Compliance — On a generator, the output switch is a safety-critical component. Using the correct OEM-rated switch ensures the contacts are rated for the voltage and current demands of the machine's full output capacity.

A DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) switch controls two separate electrical circuits simultaneously with a single switching action — in a portable generator application, this typically governs the connection or disconnection of AC output across both live conductors at once. This design ensures both poles of the circuit open and close together, which is essential for safe, balanced load switching on a generator. When the switch fails, contacts can burn out, stick, or lose continuity, leading to no output at the panel, intermittent power delivery, or an inability to safely shut down the generator's electrical output.
