Electrical isolators separate a part of the system from rest for safe maintenance works. A double break switch isolates the part of the system that is being separated entirely.

What does a PTB switch do?

A PTB (Push to Break) switch is a type of switch that is normally in the ON state. When the switch is pressed or activated, it will break the circuit connection and turn OFF the device it is controlling. PTB switches are commonly used as emergency stop buttons in machinery or equipment.


Why does some equipment only need a single pole switch while other equipment needs a double pole switch to operate?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The type of switch is dependant upon what voltage the load uses. If a load is 120 volts, the electrical configuration is one hot line and one neutral. To break this load a single pole switch is used to break the one hot leg. Neutral wires are never to be opened. If the load is 240 volts, the electrical configuration is two hot legs. To break this load a double pole switch is needed to break both hot legs. A single pole switch will break the load but not safely. If you were to work on a 240 volt system with just one leg broken, the voltage from the second hot leg could feed back 120 volts to the ground. If you got between this voltage, a nasty shock could be given. So it for safety reasons that on 240 installations both lines are broken with a two pole switch.


What is the device to break a circuit?

A switch is a device used to break a circuit. By opening the switch, the circuit is interrupted and electricity stops flowing. This allows for controlling the flow of electricity to different components in a circuit.


What is the difference between iron clad double pole switch and double pole single throw switch?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The difference between a double pole switch and a single pole switch is the use of the switch in the installation or equipment. A double pole switch is used when the voltage from two circuits has to be broken. An example of this is a 240 volt supply. A single pole switch is used where there is only a single supply voltage that has to be broken.

What is Disconnector Switch?

to disconnect the circuit when faults occursAnswerA 'disconnector switch' is another term for an 'isolating switch' or 'isolator'. It is a manually-operated switch used to provide a visible break between a de-energised part of a circuit and the energised part of a circuit so that work can be carried out safely on the de-energised part. A disconnector switch is not intended to break a load current, and most certainly not designed to break a fault current -that is the function of a circuit breaker.

Calling a function from switch in C?

Yes, you can call a function from within a switch statement in C. switch (i) { case 0: function1(i); break; case 1: function2(i); break; default: function3(i); break; } When the function returns, you will still be in the switch statement.


How can we use characters in the switch statements to select the cases java?

Switch statements in Java can only use integer values. This means that we can switch on char values (because chars are simply ints with a different output type), but we can not switch on Strings or any other objects. The following examples are both valid in Java. // switch 1 int x = 1; switch(x) { case 0: break; case 1: break; default: break; } // switch 2 char x = '1'; switch(x) { case '0': break; case '1': break; default: break; }
