Abstract :
Resistance load (electric heaters, incandescent lights, etc.) can be switched most satisfactorily by a relatively slow moving motor-operated type of switch. Noise, contact wear, and general maintenance are all less than with the ordinary type of magnetic contactor, which is designed for switching inductive loads.
