So what characterises porcelain in electrical systems?
Porcelain is a sturdy and long-lasting material able to withstand thermal shocks and blunt impacts. These traits make it the perfect choice when it comes to producing high-quality electrical components like this diverter. Furthermore porcelain also boasts a refined and sophisticated appearance which easily blends in with any interior decor, especially vintage.
When should you use a diverter instead of a switch?
The white porcelain diverter with knob is the perfect accessory if you're looking to control a single light from multiple locations by using different buttons. Despite being very similar to regular switches they are, however, set apart by one main difference:
- The switch is a unipolar device, which means it is designed to interrupt or allow the current flow in a single circuit. In other words, a switch can open or close only one electrical circuit. Switches are commonly used to turn lights, outlets, and other electrical devices on and off.
- The diverter on the other hand is a multipolar device designed to direct the current flow in two or more circuits. The diverter is able to connect or disconnect two or more electrical circuits, making it possible to change the direction of the electricity. This means that it can be used to turn a single light on and off from multiple locations, using different buttons.
This product can be used both as a diverter and as a switch, based on what is needed in the electrical system.
