Advantages of Modular Switch | Disadvantages of Modular Switch

This page covers advantages and disadvantages of Modular Switch and its basics. It mentions benefits or advantages of Modular Switch and drawbacks or disadvantages of Modular Switch.

What is Modular Switch?

Introduction:
Switch is an electrical component which can break or make an electrical circuit. This interrupts flow of current or diverts it from one conductor to the another.

Modular switches are latest version of conventional switches. They are safer and more convenient to use. They are available in different sizes, shapes and colors. Modular switches are multi-functional in nature. They are used to power appliances, gadgets as well as data/Telephone communication equipments.
