Power Switch

A “switch” refers to an electronic component that can either open a circuit, interrupt the flow of current, or divert it to other circuits. The most common type of switch is an operator-controlled switch used for controlling machinery or issuing commands, which typically features one or more electronic contacts. When the contacts are “closed,” it signifies that they are conducting, allowing the current to pass through. Conversely, when the switch is “open,” it indicates that the electronic contacts are not conducting, creating an open circuit and preventing the flow of current.
