ELECTRIC SWITCHES MANUFACTURING
[CODE NO.3273]
The switches are of high quality and are used in hot plates, coolers, washing machines, electric cooking ranges etc. Rotary Switches are to 5 Amps and 15Amps rating and are fitted with very fine quality contracts for long lasting. The contacts close or open.
The switches consist of Bakelite body except for the hot plate switch. The hot plate switch has a ceramic base to withstand high temperature. The switches have a 360° rotation. The switches are provided with a black or white knob with proper marking. Single hole fixing is provided by a threaded brush. The switch is secured by a single center fixing nut.
Electric switches, plugs, sockets, etc. are nothing but electric fittings which are quite familiar to the people as it is found in every home. They can be manufactured using different major raw materials e.g. steel, brass, thermosetting or thermoplastic resins However this report is totally based on bakelite powder or resin which is thermosetting type. Bakelite powder is also known as phenol formaldehyde resin. also other electrical accessories e.g. plates, lamps holders, may be manufactured from phenol formaldehyde resin and same plant and machineries making the industry highly flexible and profitable. Besides electrical fittings radio cabinets, inks stands, table lamps, door and cabinets, handles, power relay components, camera shutters, textile bobbins and other accessories may also be manufactured with little or no change.
As mentioned earlier though electrical fittings may be manufactured from other materials also it may be noted that bakelite electrical fittings are best and economical. Also bakelite is bad conductor of electricity making them shock resistant which may be there is case of metal electrical fittings.
Electric fittings are manufactured in different sizes as required by the customer. They may be of two or three pin. Three pin sockets and plugs have one major advantage over two pin one's since they are earthed also. Also various combinations are practiced in the 5-15 ampere range. These combinations are (1) 5 amp. switches, sockets, Bell push & Flush type fuses (2) 15 amp. and 5-15 amps. combination etc. can imagine the scope of this industry. To make it more clear due to the development in electric production more industries will be installed, more and more electricity, as well as industrial purposes which in turn will require more fittings.
Most of the bakelite electrical fittings consist essentially of three parts.
i. The bakelite or plastic body.
ii. Metal inserts and screws, springs etc.
iii. Ceramic base.
A switch is a device to cut the electric circuit when not desired. A general use switch is a switch intended for use in general distribution and branched circuits. It is rated in amperes and is capable of interrupting its rated current at its rated voltage.
