How does water heater flow switch work?

A water heater flow switch works by monitoring the flow of water through the system. When water flows, the switch detects the movement and sends a signal to the heating element to activate. If the flow of water stops (e.g., due to a closed tap), the switch shuts off the heating element to prevent overheating and potential damage to the system.

Why does an electrical kettle switch itself off when the water boils?

Check the wattage or amperage of your kettle. It sounds like you are overloading the circuit. Most circuits will be on a 15 amp breaker. If the circuit has more that one receptacle on it there may be other appliances drawing amps off of the same breaker. To test this theory try the kettle in other parts of the house and see if it trips a different breaker.


Explain the operation and application of a mercury switch?

A mercury switch is a type of electrical switch where the contacts are controlled by the orientation of a small amount of mercury inside a sealed glass tube. When the device is tilted, the mercury creates a connection between the contacts, completing the circuit. This type of switch is commonly used in tilt sensors, thermostats, and safety devices due to its simple design and reliability.
