Tips on Choosing the Right Modular Switches

With electrical equipment manufacturing industry growing steadily and the growing use of electricity taking place in our country, it can be said that is a mandate to know the right switches and appliances to use to make your home shock proof from electric fluctuations.
Here are some tips and tricks that can help you make your right choice in selecting the modular switches suitable for your home:-

Type


Knowing the type of switches you’d want to have is important for selecting the right switch –be it modular or the conventional ones. Since, it is the 21st century and the conventional ones have now become obsolete, it is the modular ones which are in trend today and are also suitable as appliances for household purposes.

Physical Features


What material are the switches made of? If the switches are made of FR polycarbonates, then they should stand at the apex of on your priority list. Do they consist of spark and dust shields that make them protective of current leakage and/or dust? What is the range of insulation provided? Are they providing the insulation resistance more than 2000 Mega Ohms? These facts are important for relevancy and consideration of buying the right switch.

Designing & Color


The modular switches are designed and manufactured in various shapes and sizes. Choices are abundant when it comes to color preferences as you can see and make it as per your home interiors and surroundings. There are a good variety of choices available in different categories of colors as well as design. Hence, design and color preferences are one the most creative factors that can help you choose the modular switches suitable for your home.

User Friendly


The switches should be easy to use and learn about. Complex modular switches do exist, but if they are to be chosen as home appliances, then choosing a complex-natured switch may not be the right choice made. Switches that are mostly effortless to use and adapt to and which cater to the growing needs of the people today, in terms of switching them on and off, are largely known as ergonomic switches.

Ease of Replacement


Does the guarantee offered by your chosen company seem convenient and reliable? Most companies tend to offer a certain replacement guarantee period and hence choosing the one with the largest time period can be a wise decision to make. However, choose the company that offers a good consistency in quality in terms of delivering the product for frequent replacements isn’t good- neither for the home nor for you.

Hence, looking at these factors closely will help in making better decisions for this investment, which seems small yet which is highly important for protection and safety.

HPL India - MCB's

  We hear about fires caused due to electrical failures almost every day. One of the prime reasons for such accidents is the faulty and outdated wiring that can barely handle the load of the new and increased amount of electrical appliances. But it is fairly challenging to upgrade the entire wiring system of an old establishment. In order to prevent such electrical fires circuit breakers must be installed which can help us reduce the number of such incidents. A miniature circuit breaker or MCB is a popular category of circuit breakers which is widely used for average homes. In India, the need for installing these circuit breakers is more than ever. As the rural and semi-urban areas of the subcontinent witness the expansion of the electric grid, the number of mishappenings caused by overloads and faulty wirings also tend to rise. MCB is nowadays prefered over a traditional fuse in almost all the modern circuits because MCBs are more sensitive to an overburden of an electrical current. A
