It Is Time To Upgrade Your Electrical Switches

 Like any electrical parts, electrical switches have wear and tear too. Repeated use of switches for a very long period of time can pose electrical hazards such as electrocution, fire, and burns. Therefore, a periodic risk assessment needs to be conducted for electrical switches, especially in high-usage areas. 

As leading electrical switches manufacturers, we can recommend one way to reduce the risk of hazards is by choosing modular electrical switches. These are safer as they are manufactured devoid of metallic parts. Another way would be to use MCBs also known as Miniature Circuit Breakers. 


Here we have listed down some of the warning signs that indicate your electrical switches need to be replaced or upgraded. 


  • While turning on a light switch we may often notice it feels hot when you turn it off. While there can be multiple reasons for this happening, usually this happens when there is an electrical overload. This often leads to the circuit breaker tripping, shutting off the power to the entire circuit. 

  • Sometimes, when appliances demand excess power from an outlet, it often leads to overheating and burn marks on the outlet. This may also give way to flames and sparks that can be highly dangerous. 

  • Circuit breakers are used to protect circuits from overloading. In order to stop any kind of damage which may be caused due to the overflowing of electricity, the circuit switches itself off to prevent the wires from overheating.

  • Bulbs often deteriorate prematurely. If this happens, this is one big sign that electrical switches require an immediate upgrade. 

  • Flickering lights can happen due to several reasons. This includes a loose light plug, a faulty fixture switch, voltage fluctuations, or outdated wiring. Another reason for this occurring can be if the product is pulling a high amount of current during start-up, leading to an immense drop in the voltage. 

  • As strange as it may sound, a high electricity utility bill can often indicate faulty wiring that needs immediate repair or replacement.

Understanding Suspension System Wire Rope Loop Fixing Kits

Suspension system wire rope loop kits are loop fixing separate components that are brought together to create a system that helps to support the weight. These kits comprise a pre-formed loop which is further attached to a length of wire rope and a simple fastener. This fastener system is used to adjust the height of the entire suspension system. On the other hand, the wire rope comes of multiple wire strands twisted together in order to provide greater strength and stability compared to one single strand.  The Usability of such kits:  The suspension system wire rope loop fixing kits are used to provide support to magnanimous amounts of weights like in electrical or mechanical service parts and even whole pieces of equipment like air conditioning units.  What are the different types of Suspension Systems?  The primary factor on which wire rope loop fixing kits depend is the load size they can hold. Suspension kit manufacturers, therefore, provide these kits with speci...

Factors To Consider While Choosing the Perfect Cable Gripper

  A cable gripper is used to grasp or enclose parts of transfer, insertion, or assembly. They are primarily used in environments where the human presence can be hazardous. Therefore, they must be designed and selected keeping in mind several factors that will ensure safety, reliability, and health concerns.  The 1/16” cable gripper is most commonly used for various applications. However, choosing and sizing the right gripper to meet your application purpose is extremely important and these are some of the considerations that must be factored in.  If the shape of the part consists of two opposing flats, then a 2-jaw gripper must be used. If it is cylindrical, a 3- jaw gripper is required. However, tooling can be designed to accommodate cylindrical parts with a 2-jaw gripper.  The accessibility and part consistency must also be considered. While angular grippers are low in cost, they require additional tooling clearance that will grip at varying points as part width v...

Understanding How To Check Non-Wicking Characteristics for Wires and Cables

We as laymen all understand how essential it is to prevent moisture from coming in contact with fiber optics. Cable and rope wire manufacturers understand this all the more and hence execute water wicking tests of the yarn and thread during the process of manufacturing the same. This helps to analyze the wicking characteristic of the product so that it is not only time-saving but also cost-effective in the long run.  What is wicking?  Wicking of cables and rope wires refers to the exposure of the yarn or fibers to moisture and how it possesses the propensity to absorb liquids into each of the strands through capillary action.  So, what is the wicking test and how does it help?  When a copper wire is exposed to water, it deteriorates its performance and functionality. It not only reduces the signal but also emanates light waves along with producing impurities further resulting in oxidation. Moreover, the continuous contact with moisture withholds the moisture internal...
