Sonar Proximity Switch type sensing switch that uses high frequency sound to
detect the presence object without coming into contact
with the object.True power also equal the apparent power multiplied
by the power factor. has several categories marks based upon the type
of product tested. VFD controls the motor speed varying the
frequency and voltage applied the motor. Products that pass tests can carry UL
mark. Many circuit breakers use thermal-magnetic
or magnetic-only trip unit.
