Limit switches are often used on the doors of electrical enclosures and cabinets to automatically shut off power or shut down a machine’s function if anyone opens the door for maintenance purposes. The limit switch is typically mounted in such a way that a shut door holds the switch lever in the “actuated” position. When the door opens wide, the limit switch lever is released and the switch returns to its “normal” status.
