NAMEPLATE SWITCHPLATE

A nameplate identifies and displays a product's name. Nameplates are usually shaped as rectangles but are also seen in other shapes. Nameplates primarily serve an informative function or a commercial role (as in a restaurant equipment, where nameplates are mounted on products to identify the brand).

A switch plate is a housing or covering of a control panel enclosing and protecting internal components from elemental damage and providing safety from accidental contact with moving, hot or electrified components. Switch places are often printed or embossed with dial guide measurements or operating settings.

In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another. Switches of all types are used in the operation of restaurant equipment. The most common type of switch is an electro-mechanical device consisting of one or more sets of movable electrical contacts connected to external circuits. When a pair of contacts is touching, current can pass between them, while when the contacts are separated no current can flow.
