Sneak-peek into the latest tech of switches and regulators


If you have a long hallway at your place or a large family room with entrances on both ends, you might have faced the trouble of walking all the way to the other end only to switch on a light or maybe a fan. You might have also faced the same trouble if you live in a duplex. To switch on a light at the staircase, your mom has to come all the way from the kitchen or her bedroom. I am sure this thing really irritates your mom or anyone living in a big house for that matter! This is exactly where a two-way switch board comes in handy for us.

The traditional function of a two-way switch is to control one light from two different locations. For instance, such a switch could be installed at two opposite ends of the hallway or maybe at both entrances in the large family room that would operate one overhead light or bulb. Thus, the functioning of a two-way switch releases you from the pain of stumbling through the dark to look for a switch. Let us find out how do these switches work? These switches work on the principle of single pole double throw configuration. Each of the switches hold a common terminal with a pole. However, the latest upgradation to these switches has enabled the touch panel along with four terminals for light, live wire, neutral wire and communication line.

 Technology with its advancement has been doing wonders and creating spaces that are more comfortable to live in. Not just this, the advancement in technology is also leading to less consumption of power. The upgraded version of home appliance that are there in the market also provide us with the benefit of reduced electricity bills! Let us take the example of new- aged fan regulators. As we know, ceiling fans are a common appliance found in every room of an Indian household. With these fans, a regulator comes along. Therefore, it is very essential to know which type to opt for as they too can help save or waste electricity.

You will find 3 types of fan regulators in the market: electric, step-type electronic and movable electronic. Electric regulators are the traditional ones with resistors to decrease the voltage for fans. However, the resistors in these regulators heat up fast while decreasing the voltage. Therefore, the electricity saved by reduced fan speed gets lost as heat. In contrast, electronic regulators use capacitors instead. Capacitors have the feature of regulating fan speed by adjusting the waveform of power supply, thereby reducing energy consumption by a good 30% to 40%. Therefore, it’s a smart choice to opt for the electronic regulators as they can help reduce your bills to a marginal difference.

Switch to safety now with electrical switchgear

Imagine having all the appliances you need but not having the switches to plug them in! Switches and switchgear are an integral part of our homes not because of their function but their convenience. And with great power comes great responsibility. Needless to say, switchgear should be extremely safe to use because this type of equipment is directly linked to the reliability of the electricity supply. Switchgear and protection go hand in hand. The earliest known power stations used simple switches, mounted on insulating panels of marble or asbestos. When power levels and voltages rapidly escalated, making opening manually operated switches were too dangerous for anything other than isolation of a de-energized circuit. Today, those days are long gone. We now see switchgear that not only protects but complements the place you live in. These are the days of aesthetically designed switchgear that raises your room’s style quotient as well. In technical terms, these days we see every
