Selector switches are designed to switch electrical circuits between multiple positions in different systems.

Description And Operating Principles of Selector Switches

The battery switch is installed on the mounting panel and is included in the control circuit. When the knob is turned, various sections of the circuit are closed or opened, which leads to switching between operating modes of the equipment. DIP switches switch between two positions. Three position selector switches provide switching between three positions. Self-return models have a built-in spring to automatically return the handle.

The main functions of the selector switch are switching electrical control circuits, which allows you to solve various problems:

• turning equipment on and off;
• starting and stopping technical processes;
• switching equipment operating modes;
• switching work programs.

Connection diagram selector switch on a boat or yacht depends on the type of engine and the amount of electrical equipment integrated into the overall power supply system.

Two batteries on boats and yachts are traditionally controlled using a selector switch. It has four positions. In the first, both batteries are disconnected from the load, in the second and third they are alternately connected to it, and in the 1+2 position they are combined with each other.

Types and Characteristics of Selector Switches

Selector switches have a wide range of models, allowing you to choose the appropriate option for working in different conditions. Selector switch models differ in size and design features.

Each model includes two-position and three-position modifications with spring self-return or without self-reset.

Two- and three-position selector switches are installed on consoles and panels for controlling the states of working equipment and regulating technological processes.

The use of selector switches provides a number of advantages when working with equipment:

• wide range of models;
• modular design;
• possibility of installing additional contact blocks;
• various control knob options;
• simple installation and connection of the selector switch;
• increased mechanical life;
• high class of housing protection from moisture, fire, etc.

To work with selector switches, additional equipment and accessories are used: contact blocks of various types, push-button stations for installing and connecting several switches.

Latching Push Button Switches

A latching switch is a device that remains in the selected position until the next switch. Its advantage is ease of use, especially in multi-state systems where a specific position needs to be maintained without constant holding.

Key Switches

A key-type switch is a device designed to turn electrical circuits on and off. It consists of a key, a frame and an electrical installation mechanism. Unlike a push-button switch, a key switch has two positions: “on” and “off,” which are easy to determine visually. This allows you to more accurately control the operation of electrical appliances. On a boat or motorboat, rocker switches are used to control lights, navigational instruments, and other electrical devices. They ensure convenient and safe operation of the vessel, allowing you to quickly and easily turn on and off the necessary devices.

Unlike push-button and rocker switches, the use of automatic selector switches allows the control circuit to be switched between a large number of positions.

Moisture Protection and Lighting

Switches for boats and yachts, made in a waterproof housing and backlit, are an indispensable element of equipment for safe and comfortable sailing. The waterproof switch housing provides reliable protection against water and moisture, preventing short circuits and damage to internal components. This is especially important for boats where the risk of water getting into electrical devices is high.

The presence of a backlight on the switch greatly simplifies its use at night or in low light conditions. This allows you to quickly and conveniently find the desired switch even in the dark, which increases the safety of navigation. In addition, backlit switches make operating the boat's electrical systems more intuitive and clear, which is especially important for novice users.

topRik marketplace sells batteries for boats, yachts and motorhomes, so we offer various types of switches for them as accessories, because battery management is central to the safe operation of a boat or vehicle.

This section introduces battery selector switches that allow you to disconnect the battery manually or from a remote location. These products allow you to turn off the battery on your boat, yacht or motorhome when not in use.

In the section you will find simple and compact manual battery switches up to 300 A for batteries, which are designed to connect, combine or disconnect DC consumers from the corresponding battery group. These are the best choice for manual control.

You can also choose heavy-duty 600 A battery breakers designed for harsh marine environments, for example. They all feature a robust, compact design and a long service life.

For remote control, we offer automatic selector switches if the battery is located in a hard to access location on your yacht.
