Main Switches – For Safe Control of Electrical Safety

Main switches are central components for quickly and safely disconnecting power in an electrical system, for example during service, maintenance, or emergencies. They are used in everything from boats and vehicles to industrial and marine installations.

Mechanical main switches are operated directly with a knob, key, or lever. When you turn or press the switch, the power is physically broken or connected via internal contacts. These are robust, easy to install, and require no external power supply. They are particularly suitable where direct and reliable manual control over the power is desired.

Electrical main switches (also called remote-controlled or magnetic main switches) are controlled via an electrical signal, often from a button or remote control. The switching occurs with the help of an electromagnet or relay, which makes it possible to turn the power on or off from a different location than where the switch is mounted. These are ideal when the main switch needs to be placed in an inaccessible location or where remote control increases safety and convenience.

Regardless of whether you are looking for a simple manual solution or advanced remote control, you will find main switches that suit both small and large electrical systems – always with a focus on safety, reliability, and easy installation.
