Contactor and remote control switch

A Power Control Switch (ICP) is a circuit breaker installed after the electricity meter, at the start of the electrical installation in each location, whether residential, commercial, or industrial (depending on the needs). What is a power control switch used for? Among its main functions is to ensure that the electrical installation does not exceed the contracted power, as well as to protect the sizing of the local distribution electrical network. You might be wondering why the consumed electrical power is exceeded. This usually happens when we connect several appliances at the same time. In this case, the automatic power control switch cuts off the electricity supply to prevent possible damage to the electrical installation (due to a possible overload). How to restore the supply? First, you need to unplug some of the connected devices from the electrical network to reduce the connected power below the contracted power.
