Ac Switch

In an electric circuit, the power supply can be controlled using a device called a switch. A switch can connect or disconnect the conducting path of the electric current. The mechanism of any switch is not too complex. A switch can interrupt or divert the flow of current. A switch is made of multiple components and is not a single device. There are basically 2 types of switches, i.e., an AC (Alternate Current) switch or a DC (Direct Current) switch. A switch can be operated manually or automatically (based on sensors)

An AC switch is used when the current's flow of directions and voltage are not stagnant/stable. For devices that need to break the electric flow immediately, AC switches are used. 

Types of AC Switch

Give below are a few types of control switches:

• Toggle switch 
• Push-button switch
• Selector switches,
• Joystick switches
• Limit switches
• Proximity switches 
• Other than these, there are process switches that are: 
• Speed switches
• Pressure switches
• Temperature
• Liquid level switches and 
• Liquid flow switches.

 These we had discussed types of switches based on categories. AC switches have wide applications in every industry and almost everywhere. Let us know some popular switches based on industrial applications.

• MMR Switch (Make my Room Switch): These switches are almost similar to DND (do not disturb) switches used in hotels and hospitals. It is a single-way switch used to convey a specific message to management/housekeeping.
• AC series Door switch: These types of switches are used to control the movement of electric doors in commercial or industrial buildings. 
• Limit Switch: Used in many household devices/electrical equipment, a limit switch is an electromechanical device operated by the pressure of physical objects. It is not operated manually and can work automatically. E.g., switch for lighting a bulb in the refrigerator.
• AC two-wire proximity switch: These switches seem similar to sensors as these switches turn on or turn off on the basis of the presence of any material or rise in temperature in a particular range of the switch. These are used in robotic and fire extinguishing establishments.
