Ohmite power tap switches are robust electro-mechanical devices engineered for convenient and dependable power distribution in industrial settings. These switches offer high current handling capabilities in a compact design, featuring reinforced non-metal bodies (for some models) and solid metal alloy contacts. They are constructed to resist arcing, burning, and charring, ensuring long-term reliability. Tandem assemblies are available for increased functionality, and the switches are UL listed for specific models. The non-shorting design disconnects the previous circuit before establishing contact with the succeeding tap, preventing potential issues. They are subject to wear and have a finite life.
