The Installation electrical switch

About electrical switches

Electric switch is an electrical component that functions to turn on and off the electricity flowing to the lights either from the phase or neutral cable in the electrical system. the shape of the light switch usually varies in shape and model depending on the brand. but in general this light switch is made of plastic and in it there is a mechanical system to connect and disconnect electricity manually or physically by pressing, turning and pulling the lever.

In practice, electric switches are not only applied to lamps, various practices in the field of electric switches can also be used for water pumps, fans and various other electronic devices. of course this is a question whether electric switches can be used not only for lights?

Mechanically, electrical switches can be used for various electronic devices to make it easier for users to save energy but of course users must understand that electrical switches have a maximum load limit. for example, an electrical switch with a capacity of 6 amperes, the electronic device that will be connected to the electrical switch must have a capacity below 6 amperes.

Tips for installing a good electrical switch.

• the electrical switch is installed with a height of 140-150 cm from the floor surface, in addition to making it easier for users when operating it also keeps it out of reach of children.
• use a good quality electrical cable with a double insulator or NYM or NYY type electrical cable.
• Use the size of the power cord that matches the electrical load connected to the switch.
• Avoid installing electrical switches in places that are easily wet.
• at the time of installation of the electrical switch ensure that the bolts and nuts connecting the power cord and the switch are strong and tight.
• Avoid installing electrical switches with large loads.

Function of Electrical Switch

• make it easy for users to turn off lights and various other electronic devices.
• save electricity load usage
• Some electrical switches are useful for controlling by turning off and turning on lights remotely through the help of mobile applications.
• safer from the possibility of electric shock.
