  • Switch ­ Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Switch from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    2/24/2016 Switch ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Switch From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can break an electrical circuit, interrupting the current or diverting it from one conductor to another.[1][2] The mechanism of a switch may be operated directly by a human operator to control a circuit (for example, a light switch or a keyboard button), may be operated by a moving object such as a door­operated switch, or may be operated by some sensing element for pressure, temperature or flow. A relay is a switch that is operated by electricity. Switches are made to handle a wide range of voltages and currents; very large switches may be used to isolate high­voltage circuits in electrical substations. Electrical switches.
