Creative Strategies to Stand Out in the Electrical Industry
A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation.
GISP Industrial provides a whole range of explosion-proof lighting as it is widely used in industry sectors who must take a gaseous environment into consideration. Manufacturers such as GE, Appleton and Acuity Brands are popular ranges that we supply on a regular basis.
A cable is usually two or more wires running side by side and bonded, twisted, or braided together to form a single assembly. A wide range of different cables are supplied by GISP for use in all industry sectors.
Panel boards are a component of an electricity supply system which divide an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits, while also providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure. Normally a main switch, and in more recent boards, one or more Residual-current devices (RCD) or Residual Current Breakers with Overcurrent protection (RCBO) will also be incorporated.
A magnetic starter is an electromagnetically-operated switch which provides a safe method for starting an electric motor with a large load. Magnetic starters also provide under-voltage and overload protection, and an automatic cut-off in the event of a power failure.
A transformer is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling between its winding circuits. A varying current in the primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's core, and thus a varying magnetic flux through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic flux induces a varying electromotive force (EMF), or "voltage", in the secondary winding.
A contactor is an electrically-controlled switch used for switching a power circuit, similar to a relay but with higher current ratings. A contactor is controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit.
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other operating principles are also used. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal.
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. Widely used in pump and compressor configurations, GISP has supplied many types of electrical switches to a variety of clients, with global manufacturers.
