Ohmite power tap switches are robust electro-mechanical devices designed for high-current switching applications. These switches offer a convenient way to select between multiple circuits without shorting the previous circuit. Constructed with ceramic or polyester bodies and silver alloy contacts, they provide resistance to arcing and burning. They are commonly used in industrial control panels, lighting systems, and other applications requiring reliable power distribution. The Ohmite 111-4E model is a versatile option for various electrical needs, offering a balance of performance and durability.
