Exceeding the rated current can cause excessive heating, arcing, and potentially fire.

Always verify that the switch&#8217;s voltage rating matches or exceeds the system voltage. For example, a MORDIO switch rated 16A 250V~ is suitable for standard single-phase circuits up to 250V. For three-phase applications, ensure the switch is rated for the line voltage (e.g., 400V).<\/p>\n<h2>Normy i certyfikacja<\/h2>\n<p>MORDIO dostarcza prze\u0142\u0105czniki \u015bcienne i gniazdka na rynki brytyjskie, europejskie i ameryka\u0144skie oraz wspiera dyskusje OEM\/ODM.
