Ohmite power tap switches (high power rotary switches) are constructed to provide dependable, convenient
operation. All switches have ceramic arc-proof bodies (except 711), metal alloy contacts, and are of an
all-soldered and all-riveted construction which assures mechanical and operational integrity. The 711 Tap Switch
has a reinforced non-metal body and solid metal alloy contacts; a very small unit with high current handling
capability. These Tap Switches have a wide range of applications such as as arcwelders, battery chargers, motor
controls, X-ray equipment, etc. Additional number of taps, configurations, assemblies, and arrangements are
available as special order items. Call for pricing and delivery info.
