PowerEgg can detect and switch on or off 110 to 230V AC mains voltage. The controlling and the controlled circuits are electrically isolated.
Two IEC-320 connectors are used to connect the mains voltage – a plug (C14) at the input, and a socket (C13) at the output.
PowerEgg provides two functions in one device:
- DETECTOR: Detects the presence of mains voltage at the input (indication with a change-over contact).
- CONTROL: Disconnects the output voltage (control via external DC voltage or a contact).
