CIRCUIT BREAKER SWITCH POWER
SKU: GL077078-1
Condition: NEW
All restaurant equipment has protection from short circuits or power overloads that could damage the internal power supply or cause a fire. Fuses and circuit breakers are two commonly used mechanisms for overload protection. Overload protection can be automatically enabled in response to high pressure or high temperature situations. Circuit breakers may be manually activated to interrupt the flow of electricity for the purpose of planned equipment maintenance or serviceable repair.
A circuit is a closed path that allows electricity to flow from one point to another. It may include various electrical components, such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors, and the flow is unimpeded unless that path is interrupted by a breaker.
A switch will have one or more sets of contacts, which may operate simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately. Switches in high-powered circuits must operate rapidly to prevent destructive arcing, and may include special features to assist in rapidly interrupting a heavy current. Multiple forms of actuators are used for operation by hand or to sense position, level, temperature or flow. Special types are used, for example, for control of machinery, to reverse electric motors, or to sense liquid level.
In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another. Switches of all types are used in the operation of restaurant equipment. The most common type of switch is an electro-mechanical device consisting of one or more sets of movable electrical contacts connected to external circuits. When a pair of contacts is touching, current can pass between them, while when the contacts are separated no current can flow.
The Garland Group manufactures premium professional cooking appliances for the foodservice industry. Garland heritage dates back to the 1920’s, and the Detroit-Michigan Stove Company. Cooking has come a long way since then, and so has Garland. Today’s innovations are all about cost-saving efficiency, and authoritative response to the ever-changing needs of foodservice operators. Small-footprint venues and expanding menus have created a demand for inventive equipment solutions that make high-volume cooking faster, safer, and more economical.
