NOTE: Since all tap switches are
electro-mechanical devices, they
are subject to wear and, there-
fore, have a finite life.

Ohmite power Tap Switches
(high power rotary switches)
are constructed to provide
dependable, convenient
operation.
All Ohmite tap switches,
from 15 to 100 amps, have
ceramic arc-proof bodies and
metal alloy contacts. Their
all-soldered and all-riveted
construction assures mechani-
cal and operational integrity.
Even the smallest Ohmite Tap
a reinforced non-metal body
and solid metal alloy contacts.
These units feature high cur-
rent handling capability in a
small package.

• “Slow-breaking, Quick-make”
action proved best for switching
AC current.
• Non-shorting type disconnects
previous circuit before establish-
ing contact for succeeding tap.
