Air switch, also known as air circuit breaker, is a type of circuit breaker. It is a switch that automatically disconnects as long as the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current. Air switch is a very important electrical appliance in low-voltage distribution networks and power traction systems, which integrates control and multiple protection functions. In addition to being able to complete contact and break circuits, it can also protect circuits or electrical equipment from short circuits, severe overloads, and undervoltages. It can also be used to infrequently start motors.
