THERMOSTAT SWITCH

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.

A thermostat is a device that is used to control the temperature in restaurant equipment such as ovens, grills, fryers, and refrigeration units. The thermostat is an integrated component and is connected to a temperature sensor, which measures the temperature inside the equipment. The thermostat uses this information to control the heating or cooling elements in the equipment, turning them on or off as needed to maintain the desired temperature. This allows the equipment to operate at the optimal temperature for the specific food or beverage being prepared, ensuring that it is cooked or cooled to the proper level.
