Why is the handle of the screwdriver made of an insulator?

One thing that tradesmen are taught is that you do not depend on the insulation factor of your tool handles to save you from an electrical shock. The fact that tool handles are made of insulating materials is coincidental. The handle material has to be comfortable in the hand, has to be cheap to produce and that it is an insulating material is secondary.All electrical work should be done in the off condition for safety purposes and it does not matter if the handle is an insulating material or not.


Is the pressure switch high Normally open or normally close?

A pressure switch can be normally open or normally closed. It depends on how it was made. The NO/NC should be marked somewhere on the switch. A pressure switch can be normally open or normally closed. It depends on how it was made. The NO/NC should be marked somewhere on the switch.

What type of material is used as contact material in switches?

Copper is used as a substrate of the contact meterial; on the grounds of cost; but the actual contacts themselves may be made of silver. Silver does not corrode a badly as copper, and a well designed switch will have a 'wiping' action in its operation, for this prolongs the life of the contacts. In corrosive atmospheres, such as Rotorua, New Zealand, there is a quantity of H2S in the atmosphere, and platinum contacts are often used.
