Faasiklahvlülitus

Faasiklahvlülitus refers to a type of electrical switch used to disconnect or connect electrical circuits. Its primary function is to interrupt the flow of current in a circuit, typically for safety reasons during maintenance or in emergency situations. These switches are designed to operate under load, meaning they can open or close the circuit while electricity is flowing. This is a key distinction from simple disconnect switches which are usually operated only when the circuit is de-energized. The term "faasiklahvlülitus" suggests a phase-splitting or phase-disconnection capability, implying it can isolate specific phases within a multi-phase electrical system. They are commonly found in industrial settings, power distribution systems, and substations. The design of a faasiklahvlülitus often involves moving contacts that physically separate to create an air gap, thereby breaking the electrical path. Safety mechanisms are typically integrated to prevent accidental re-energization. Proper operation and maintenance are crucial to ensure their effectiveness and prevent electrical hazards.
