Abstract: A rotor system for a multi-pole rotary electrical switch having a rotor with a top and a bottom. Bus plate connectors are held in chambers on the bottom of the rotor. Retainers in the chambers, engaging only sides of the bus plate connectors, prevent the bus plate connectors from dropping out of the chambers when the bus plate connectors are placed above bus plates in a bus plate holder to place the switch in an “OFF” position. Support members extend from a side of the rotor to support the bus plate connectors above the bus plates. When the rotor is rotated to the “OFF” position the support members are rotated up onto support posts positioned in the bus plate holder. When the rotor is rotated to an “ON” position the support members are rotated off the support posts and the bus plate connectors are pressed down against the bus plates by a spring, thereby creating electrical connections between the bus plate connectors and the bus plates.
