FAQs:
- Q: What makes the RT1A (017-500166) different from standard switches in the UAE?
- A: The RT series is “Heavy Duty.” It has a much higher degree of enclosure protection and mechanical durability than the smaller KP series, making it ideal for industrial UAE sites.
- Q: Can this be used for ammonia systems in Dubai?
- A: The “A” in RT1A typically signifies suitability for ammonia (NH3) as well as fluorinated refrigerants, making it a versatile choice for UAE cold storage.
- | Q: Is it resistant to vibrations on board ships in the UAE?
- A: Yes, the RT series is widely used in marine applications across the UAE due to its superior resistance to vibration and sea-air corrosion.
