Can 220 volts single phase sollatek avs (automatic voltage switchers) be connected in parallel so as to obtain the same 220 volts but higher amperage. Specifically can two 30 amps avs be connected to obtain 60 amps, or three 30 amps avs be connected to obtain 90 amps, or four 30 amps avs be connected to obtain 120amps and so on.? if yes, how can the connection be effected?

I've never worked with these switches but my instinct is that they can be connected in parallel. These are, after all, simple switches with solenoid controls. The same control signal should be able to switch multiple switches simultaneously.
As for connecting them, simply connect them in parallel. You might need to run your high-current wire into a junction box, then spread it out to the multiple switches. For example, if your have a 6-gauge wire carrying 50 Amps, run it into a junction box and connect it to two 10-gauge wires, which then fan out to two switches. Do the same thing on the other side of the switch to combine the wires.
