2. Multiway switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_switching

   The switches may be arranged so that they are in the same orientation for off, and contrasting orientations for on. [1] A "4-way" (intermediate) switch is a purpose built double pole, double throw (DPDT) switch, internally wired in manufacture to reverse the connections between the input and output and having only four external terminals. This ...

3. Switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch

   A high-voltage disconnect switch used in an electrical substation. Such switches are used mostly to isolate circuits, and usually cannot break load current. High-voltage switches are available for the highest transmission voltages, up to 1 million volts. This switch is gang-operated so that all three phases are interrupted at the same time.

4. Knife switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_switch

   1917 motor switch, with extra contacts Dual-pole, dual-throw knife switch in one of its two closed positions. A knife switch is a type of switch used to control the flow of electricity in a circuit. It is composed of a hinge which allows a metal lever, or knife, to be lifted from or inserted into a slot or jaw.

5. Electric switchboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_switchboard

   A low-voltage switchboard A modern electric switchboard. An electric switchboard is a piece of equipment that distributes electric power from one or more sources of supply to several smaller load circuits. It is an assembly of one or more panels, each of which contains switching devices for the protection and control of circuits fed from the ...

6. Relay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay

   Circuit symbols of relays (C denotes the common terminal in SPDT and DPDT types.) Since relays are switches, the terminology applied to switches is also applied to relays; a relay switches one or more poles, each of whose contacts can be thrown by energizing the coil. Normally open (NO) contacts connect the circuit when the relay is activated ...

7. Network switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

   A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Some switches can also forward data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing functionality. Such switches are commonly known as layer-3 switches or multilayer switches. [2]
