Safety Switches & Controls Explained
Different applications require different types of safety switches and controls. Understanding the available options is an important part of selecting the right solution.
Safety Switches
Depending on the application, safety switches may be fusible or non-fusible. Fusible safety switches work with fuses within the same enclosure, while non-fusible switches provide a means of opening and shutting a circuit without integrated fuse protection.
Safety Controls
Safety controls can help prevent harm to people and equipment even when an interlocking device experiences system failure. Depending on the application, systems may incorporate forcibly guided relays, direct-opening safety switches, and other control technologies.
Designed Around the Application
From simple disconnects to more specialized machine safety systems, selecting the appropriate switch, sensor, control, or interlock depends on the equipment, environment, and safety requirements involved.
