What is on load and off load switching?

On load switching is when a switch can be operated whilst current is still passing through the switch (i.e. it is on load) Offload switching is when a switch is operated whilst there is no current through the switch (i.e. it is offload)


Why the isolator should not closed with load?

Isolation switches can be closed with loads connected. The isolation switch should not be opened under load unless the switch is load rated. This information can be found on the isolation switch's cover as to the amount of current that can be safely interrupted.


What is a switch in a circuit?

A switch is a non automatic mechanical device capable of opening or closing a circuit under normal load conditions


Is a relay defect and open load the same?

A relay is basically a controllable switch that connects a supply voltage to a load. If the relay is switch such that the load is not connected, that could be considered an open load. If it is switched the other way the load will be connected to its supply voltage. A defect in a relay would be something that caused it not to function correctly. It could be in the switch portion of the supply portion of the relay. Hence you are referring to different things and a defect may or may not cause the load to be open.


What is difference bitween air break switch and load break switch?

Both are types of isolators of a power circuit. Load break switch is an isolator where circuit can be isolated on load. The quenching media could be air, oil or gas..... Air break switch is type isolator where isolation takes place in the air itself. (break contacts are not immersed in oil, gas ...) But whether these isolators can be opened on load or not can be said only by looking at the desgin data. Some isolators are designed to open and close on load.

Is a switch considered a load?

No, a switch is not considered a load in an electrical circuit. A switch controls the flow of electricity to the load (such as a light bulb or motor) by opening or closing the circuit. The load is the component in the circuit that consumes the electrical energy.


What happens when you connect the line wire from the switch to the load wire from the wall?

This is what the purpose of a switch is. It connects the "hot" wire to the load. When this is done the load becomes energized.


What is the least destructive mining method?

The least destructive method would be to simply identify the desired mineral specimen by eye and pick it up.


Is a switch a load?

No it is not considered a load. A load transforms electrical energy into other types of energy :)


Where must the function switch be to load radio with comsec?

The switch to load the radio with comsec should be located on the radio itself. It may be a physical switch or button that needs to be activated to enable the comsec loading process.


When a switch is turned off should the load be zero?

The load will be zero after the switch is turned off. if power is still being drawn then the switch is quite likely faulty


What does switch leg mean?

The term switch leg really means switched leg. It is the wire that comes off of the bottom terminal of a switch and when the switch is turned on becomes hot. This is the leg that turns the load off and on.
