When should you use a diverter instead of a switch?
The white porcelain diverter with knob is the perfect accessory if you're looking to control a single light from multiple locations by using different buttons. Despite being very similar to regular switches they are, however, set apart by one main difference:
- The switch is a unipolar device, which means it is designed to interrupt or allow the current flow in a single circuit. In other words, a switch can open or close only one electrical circuit. Switches are commonly used to turn lights, outlets, and other electrical devices on and off.
- The diverter on the other hand is a multipolar device designed to direct the current flow in two or more circuits. The diverter is able to connect or disconnect two or more electrical circuits, making it possible to change the direction of the electricity. This means that it can be used to turn a single light on and off from multiple locations, using different buttons.
