Working Mechanism

  • When the external handle is rotated to the ON position, the switch mechanism closes the electrical circuit, thus allowing power to flow through the circuit.
  • Conversely, when the handle is rotated to the OFF position, the switch opens the contacts of the electrical circuit, cutting off the flow of power.
