FAQs
What types of high-performance electrical switches do you supply in Newport?
We stock a full portfolio that includes heavy-duty toggle switches, sealed rocker switches, illuminated push-buttons, double-throw rotary switches, and solid-state relays. All models are rated up to 690 V AC/1000 V DC and are CE, UL, and RoHS compliant, making them suitable for residential, commercial, and marine applications common around Newport.
Are your switches resistant to the coastal environment of Newport?
Yes. Most of our high-performance ranges carry IP67 or IP69K ingress ratings, UV-stabilised housings, and corrosion-resistant stainless-steel or nickel-plated brass hardware. They are rigorously salt-spray tested (up to 1,000 h) to ensure long-term reliability in Newport’s moist, saline air.
Can you help with switch specification and sizing for my project?
Absolutely. Our on-site application engineers will review your load requirements, enclosure space, regulatory standards, and desired lifecycle, then recommend the optimal contact rating, pole/throw configuration, and actuation method. We also provide CAD models, wiring diagrams, and sample units for prototyping.
Do you offer installation and commissioning services in Newport?
Yes. We have NICIEC-approved electricians who can perform complete turn-key installation anywhere in Newport and the surrounding Gwent region. Services include panel cut-outs, cable termination, insulation resistance testing, and final commissioning with signed electrical certificates.
What lead times should I expect for bulk or custom switch orders?
Standard catalogue items up to 1,000 units typically ship from our Newport warehouse within 24 hours. Custom-engraved actuators, special contact materials, or unique colour caps require 7–10 working days. For large OEM runs (>10,000 units), we schedule a 4–6 week lead time with progress milestones.
Do your switches improve energy efficiency or reduce operating costs?
Yes. Our solid-state and low-resistance contact designs minimise I²R losses, while optional LED indicators draw 80 % less current than incandescent lamps. Many clients in Newport’s commercial sector report up to a 5 % reduction in panel heat load and a noticeable increase in switch lifecycle, reducing maintenance call-outs and downtime.
