If the rotor is not connected to anything, the spacing between the rotor and
the contact is unimportant. By using adjacent contacts on the wafer as the
switch - with the rotor simply acting as a connecting contact, the voltage
rating would be doubled. It requires a bit of thought
In reviewing switch wafers, I observe that the distance between the spacer
and a few of the terminals is the closest spacing. That spacing seems to
be much closer than the contact to rotor distance.
I solved the problem altogether in a 4-1000 amp by eliminating the output
switch and using a rotary inductor. That is a nice solution for a
homebuilt - but not a small commercial amp.
