Generally relays or contactors

If you are talking about an electric panel in your house, they are called breakers.

Can a series circuit have gaps?

no because there is no switches


if load is wired in a circuit that has multiple switches in series with it What conditions must be present in order for the load to be energized?

In order for the load to be energized in a circuit with multiple switches in series, all the switches must be closed or in the "on" position. This is because switches in series function like an "AND" gate in digital logic, requiring all inputs to be true for the output to be true. If any one of the switches is open or in the "off" position, the circuit will be open and the load will not receive power. Therefore, all switches must be closed to complete the circuit and energize the load.


What is a one gang switch what is a single phase circuit?

A one gang switch is like an ordinary switch box in your home. When there is more than one box, the electrical terminology used is ganging the boxes together. Two switches side by side in a single box is expressed as a two gang box. Three switches side by side in a single box is a three gang box. A single phase circuit is a circuit that gets is supply voltage from a single phase supply system. In North America the single phase supply voltages are 120/240 volts. A single phase circuit can also be supplied from any two legs of a three phase system. The most common voltages in North America from a three phase system are 120/208 volts.


What is a device that controls the flow of current by making or breaking a circuit called?

A device that controls the flow of current by making or breaking a circuit is called a switch. Switches can be mechanical, like toggle or push-button switches, or electronic, such as transistors. They are essential components in various electrical and electronic systems, allowing users to turn devices on or off and manage power distribution.


What is the circuit in which two switches are connected in a series?

Two switches in series would be an analogue representation of a solid-state AND logic gate.

How is one light controlled by three switches?

That is called a 4 way light switch circuit. On each end of the circuit you install a 3way switch and in the middle you install a 4 way switch.Answer using British TerminologyIn the UK, 'three-way' switches are called 'two-way' switches (more logical, if you think about it!), and the 'four-way' switch is called an 'intermediate' switch.


Does the circuit box have one side for neutral and the other side for ground?

No, a circuit box is just a metal or plastic box that encloses the wiring and has means for mounting a cover plate. Most circuit boxes are for mounting outlets or switches, but one type (also called the junction box) is only intended as a junction point for wiring for multiple circuits and its cover plate is solid (no openings).The wires that pass through a circuit box (usually together in a common plastic jacket) will be identified as:hot - black (220VAC service opposite phase hot - red)neutral - whiteground - green


What is the function of an switch?

Auxiliary switches are separate switches with circuit which helps for the function of commutation of main switches of a converter.


What is a circuit breaker with 2 switches?

A circuit breaker with 2 switches typically refers to a double-pole circuit breaker. This type of circuit breaker has two separate switches that simultaneously disconnect both the positive and negative wires of a circuit, providing complete electrical isolation. It is commonly used for appliances or devices that require a dedicated electrical connection.
