What is a switchboard?
The switch is a cover used to hide and protect the electric switch, which is mounted in a typical box of gangs. It serves an important safety function by preventing accidental contact with the connection connected to the electric switch. They are available in a variety of different styles, shapes, colors and materials and can bring visual attraction to the room in addition to maintaining safety.
Inserts are usually connected to the front of the gang box with small screws, which are usually included in plates or with plates. The switch or switches pass through the center of the switching plate and the screws are then attached to the mounting holes on the switch. After installation, the board should be tight and safe and should not allow any access to the inside of the box of gangs and wires contained in the box.
The base switch can hold a single switch. Larger versions are available for mounting on larger boxes and can accommodate two or more switches. They should always be used if necessaryPlates designed for multiple switches, because smaller plates cannot be safely combined to cover a large box of gangs in normal installation. In some installations, usually used in older houses, two or three switches may be mounted in one box space, and they will require special boards. There are also hybrid varieties of switching boards and are used to combine switches and containers, dimmers or other items.
The most common variety of the switching board is made of simple but durable plastic, usually in white or beige. They are very cheap and can be purchased in large. Metal plates should be used in areas where they are connected to metal boxes. These metal plates are also generally quite cheap, although usually somewhat more expensive than basic plastic. Some types of metal boxes may require special sizes of the clamps thatRa smoothly attaches to the box, usually guarantees tight and safe adaptation to exposed installations.
Switching plates can be decorative and functional. They are available in a variety of colors, styles and materials, including colored plastic, finished metal and various types of wood. Decorative or fantastic patterns are often available and are particularly popular for use in children's rooms. These decorative switching boards are usually significantly more expensive than plates made of simple plastic, but can provide much more visual attraction, especially if they are mounted in highly visible places in the home or office.
