Safety switches are devices that monitor the movement of current through electrical wiring and disconnect the supply of electricity upon detecting differences or imbalances. They react to even the tiniest change within a fraction of a second, cutting off the power if there’s a leak of electricity to ground, a power board is overloaded, etc.
Unlike surge protectors and circuit breakers (which protect electrical appliances), these devices are designed to shield people from electrocution and fire. Single-phase safety switches and three-phase safety switches find many applications in the electrical industry, especially for residential, business, and commercial switchboards.
