Tagantlüliti

Tagantlüliti is an Estonian term that translates to "reversing switch" or "changeover switch" in English. It refers to a type of electrical switch used to reverse the direction of current flow or to switch a circuit between two different power sources or configurations. These switches are crucial components in various electrical systems, enabling control over the operation of machinery and devices.

The primary function of a tagantlüliti is to alter the wiring connections within a circuit. This is often achieved through a mechanism that physically moves contact points, disconnecting them from one set of terminals and connecting them to another. In its simplest form, a tagantlüliti can be a manual rotary switch, where the user rotates a knob or lever to select the desired circuit path. However, they can also be electrically operated, activated by a control signal.

Applications for tagantlülitid are diverse. They are commonly found in electric motors to reverse their rotational direction, allowing machinery to operate forwards and backward. In power distribution systems, they can be used to switch between different power supplies or to isolate sections of a network. Other uses include controlling heating elements, pumps, and various industrial automation processes. The design and capacity of a tagantlüliti vary greatly depending on the specific voltage, current, and switching requirements of the application. Reliability and safety are paramount considerations in their design and implementation.
