Why Are Wall Switches Prone to Failure? Pay Attention To The Details Of Selection

If the wall switch is exposed to the outside and the environment is not good, it can easily cause usage problems. When choosing a switch, many people only focus on indicators such as power, output voltage, and price, but often ignore the selection details, resulting in products that do not meet the usage scenarios and delay production. Choosing a good wall switch factory can control all the details and meet the needs of any scene.

What are the specific details of wall switch selection?

For example, the machinery factory is full of metal dust, which will enter the switch along the gap of the switch, causing the switch to short-circuit. For example, in the textile machinery industry, the most troublesome problem is the lint problem. Cotton lint will float to every corner, etc… Faced with these special environments, universal wall switches may be insufficient.

What are the problems in different environments and how should we choose?

1. In The Textile Industry Factory

In the textile machinery industry, cotton wadding falling everywhere causes various problems that are difficult to control, including the cotton wadding blocking the fan and causing fan damage; including the cotton wadding entering the inside of the wall switch, which may ignite the cotton wool and cause a fire.

Solution: Clean the fan every day or use a remote control switch. The wall switch should be a three-position touch switch embedded in the wall to isolate the spread of dust. Naturally, there is no risk of short circuit in the switch.

2. Outdoor Environment Switch

Many wall switches for outdoor lights are installed on the exterior wall. The outdoor environment is exposed to wind and rain, and the humidity is very high, which can easily damage the chip components on the PCB, causing the switch to be abnormal and unable to control the operation of the equipment.

The power grid in remote areas fluctuates greatly, especially at night, which can easily exceed the input voltage of conventional power supplies, causing over voltage damage to internal components. At the same time, outdoor lightning strikes are common, and lightning surges can easily damage the power supply, which requires wall switches to have EMS performance.

Solution: Using remote control, the AC85-250V receiver can be switched on and off with a wide voltage without fear of power grid fluctuations or customized electrical switch manufacturing.

3. Wall Switch Selection

If there is no size requirement, we recommend choosing a three-button touch tempered glass screen for general environments; if you live by the sea or in an area with heavy salt spray, we recommend choosing a single fire wire touch-sensing wall switch.

In different industries and environments, the choice of wall switch must fit the scene and not just be cheap. You can choose different wall switch factories for different scenarios, or you can choose a wall switch factory with a complete range of products, or a custom switch manufacturer.

The wall switch is the core component of lighting control. Choosing the right electrical switch socket manufacturers and model will not only save later maintenance costs, but also avoid many safety hazards. Wouldn’t it be nice to kill two birds with one stone?
