Any electromagnetic interference has become a major problem due to the amount of electrical and electronic equipment working together in the same place. This effect can be dangerous for electric motors that require frequency inverters for their operation.

The EMC safety switches (IS) incorporate a metal shield in order to provide an interconnection of all the electrical grounds. Thanks to these connection, the appearance of radiofrequency voltages that cause electromagnetic interference can be reduced. Destinated to applications from 16 to 125 amperes. The equipment is supplied with clips that perform electrical continuity between cable shields and grounds.
