YB15SKG01

YB15SKG01 application field and working principle

Pushbutton switches are a type of switch used to control different electrical circuits. The YB15SKG01 is a type of pushbutton switch, designed for use in hazardous locations that require an extra layer of protection.

Application Field

The YB15SKG01 is a pushbutton switch designed for use in hazardous locations. These are locations where there is a greater risk of fire, or an increased chance of an electric shock or similar hazardous incident. This type of pushbutton switch is approved for use in both indoor and outdoor locations, making them capable of handling challenging environments where traditional switches may fail.

The switch is suitable for use in locations such as oil refineries and chemical plants, where combustible dust and hazardous gases could be present. It is also suitable for use in locations that require a higher level of protection due to potential contact with flammable liquids or vapors. This includes onshore and offshore drilling rigs and chemical manufacturing.

Working Principle

The YB15SKG01 pushbutton is a single-pole switch. It has two contacts that are connected when the switch is in the ‘on’ position. When the switch is in the ‘off’ position the two contacts are not connected. This ensures the circuit is not being activated when the switch is in the ‘off’ position.

The YB15SKG01 also has an overload protection feature. This means that if too much current is flowing through the switch it will trip, disconnecting power from the circuit. This prevents damage to the switch and reduces the risk of a fire or electric shock.

The YB15SKG01 is also designed to be used in hazardous locations. It has an enclosure that is rated for use in areas where combustible dust, gases and vapors may be present. The enclosure is also designed to resist impact, vibration and shock, making it particularly suitable for use in hazardous locations with challenging environmental conditions.

Conclusion

The YB15SKG01 pushbutton switch is a single-pole switch that is designed for use in hazardous locations. It has overload protection, an enclosure that is rated for hazardous locations and is approved for both indoor and outdoor use. This makes it suitable for a range of applications where hazardous conditions could be present.
