Current Switches provide reliable overcurrent detection and automatic switching to protect equipment and control circuits. Key benefits - Protects equipment from overload by triggering a switch at a preset current level, helping prevent motor and power electronics damage. - Delivers fast, repeatable response for dependable protection and automatic control. - Flexible configurations available with fixed or adjustable current thresholds to fit different loads. - Easy to integrate with standard control wiring and panel mounting in typical electrical enclosures. - Durable housing designed for industrial environments; material choices vary by model to suit application needs. - Compact size suitable for panel mounting and installations with limited space. - Clear, reliable contact signaling for integration with control logic and safety interlocks; verify the model for output type and ratings. What this product is designed to do - Monitor current in a circuit and switch contacts when the current reaches the set point. - Provide a simple, automatic protection method that works with common control systems and wiring practices. - Offer compact form factors and robust construction for industrial applications. Typical specifications to confirm with your model - Rated current and voltage per model; ensure compatibility with your load and supply. - Contact configuration (for example single pole, double pole) and output type. - Threshold adjustability options; fixed thresholds are available on some variants. - Mounting method and enclosure suitability; model options may include panel mount or other configurations. - Housing material options (durable plastic or metal) depending on the model and environment. - Operating performance figures such as response time and contact durability; consult the product sheet for exact values. Use scenarios - Motor protection in a conveyor, pump, or fan system: the current switch trips to stop or isolate the circuit when overload is detected, preventing overheating. - Power supply or charger protection in automation equipment: protects downstream electronics during startup and fault conditions by disconnecting the load when current exceeds the limit. - Control panel protection and signaling: used to monitor load current in a control cabinet, triggering alarms or control signals when the current crosses the threshold. Notes for selection - Review the product sheet for the exact rated current, voltage, mounting options, and output configuration for each model. - Confirm compatibility with your control system wiring and the intended environment to ensure reliable operation.
