Switches and Circuit Protectors Switch – a device that allows you to “make” or “break” the connection between two or more points in a circuit EGR 101 1 Poles and Throws Pole – the moving contact Throw – the non-moving contact Example: Double-Pole, Single-Throw (DPST) EGR 101 2 Normally Open and Normally Closed Switches EGR 101 3 Rotary Switches EGR 101 4 Dual-in-line-Package (DIP) Switches 8 SPST DIP Switch Circuit Symbol EGR 101 5 Fuses Fuse – a device that is designed to open automatically if its current exceeds a specified value Actual glass fuse Circuit Symbol EGR 101 6 Fuse Ratings Current: the maximum allowable fuse current before it blows Voltage: the voltage across an open fuse that will cause the air in the use to ionize and allow the open fuse to conduct. Fuse ratings are engraved on the metal end caps EGR 101 7 Types of Fuses High-Speed Fast-Blow Instantaneous Normal Instantaneous Time Delay Slow-Blow EGR 101 8 Precautions When Replacing Fuses Make sure all power is removed from the circuit Only replace with a fuse of the same current rating Only replace with a fuse of the same or higher voltage rating Never replace with a fuse with a higher current rating EGR 101 9 Micro Fuses and Integrated Circuit Protectors EGR 101 10 Circuit Breakers Circuit Breakers – not destroyed like fuses when activated Single – Pole Double - Pole EGR 101 11 GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) – common special-case circuit breaker RESET Button EGR 101 12
