What is a pilot lamp?
The pilot lamp is a light that is illuminated under specific conditions, most often when the electrical circuit is under voltage. It may also be known as an indicator lamp or a pilot light, although it should not be confused with a small flame still burning in a gas device to provide a ignition source when the device is turned on. Pilot lamps are used in a wide range of settings and in some cases are legally required for safety reasons. Rail signaling is complex and problems with the system could pose a significant risk. Many systems have lights that are activated when shorts or other electrical errors are present, and warn trains engineers to the fact that the track can be dangerous because the signaling system is down. Pilot lamps can also be used to provide signals to monitor controllers, activation, when the train passes and completes the electrical circuit, so operators know when the trains are on the track.
The pilot lamp can also be used on the next turnCircuit types, including very small electrical circuits. Many electronics use a pilot lamp to indicate when the system is under tension or when there is a problem. Lighting after the "Power" button on many electronics is a simple example; When there is light, people know that the perimeter is under tension. Similarly, many systems use orange or red backlight power when the system is powered or down, or when there is a problem.
Pilot lamp setting is usually very easy, especially if it has to provide basic functionality, such as lighting when the electrical circuit is under voltage. The lamp can be connected to the circuit to light up the power supply. When the power supply is reduced, it comes out because it will have no energy source. The lights set to work in the presence of errors and other problems are a little more complicated, especially if they are also designed to activate with the trip to turn off the circuit until the problem is solved.
for pilot lampsA number of bulbs are used. Usually, high -resistant long -life bulbs are used and people are increasingly relying on light emitting diodes (LEDs) for their brightness and longevity. The aim is to prevent a situation where the lamp fails, and a dangerous condition without an indicator is present.
