Guest Battery Disconnect Switches Sweep Contact Feature
|
Guest 'sweep' contacts are just better
  Guest's
smooth, flat 'sweep' contacts provide up to 60% more contact area
than inferior line-contact designs. Our contacts are 'machined' to
guarantee an electrically sound path, while line-contact designs
suffer from a lack of matched contact surfaces, leading to arcing
and excessive carbon tracking. Guest contacts also provide a
unique, self-cleaning sweep every time the switch is used,
maintaining a matched contact area for maximum efficiency and long
life.

Section#7...
|
|
Take a look inside a typical battery switch and you'll find small,
spring-loaded "line contacts" that provide the electrical gateway to
your system. These line-contact designs provide a very small
conductive area for high current flow, resulting in critical wear,
carbon tracking and contact burns over time. The key to long, efficient switch life is large contact surface
area. That's why Guest switches feature an innovative 'sweep contact'
design, which provides a large, flat surface area for maximum
conductivity and efficiency, without the excessive wear,
carbon tracking and contact burns of inferior line-contact designs.
All Guest battery switches safely provide positive battery
disconnect, isolate all circuits, and conform to USCG. safety
standard 183.410 for ignition protection.
