Ideal Main Switch INT0003 079830

The Ideal 079830 is a main switch for Ideal Commercial appliances, listed by the supplier under the reference INT0003. It is the primary on/off control on the appliance, breaking the electrical supply to the control circuit when the switch is turned off and restoring it when turned on. The switch is a serviceable electrical component, so it can be replaced on its own when the original becomes unreliable or fails, without disturbing the rest of the control panel. Ideal Commercial covers the manufacturer's commercial heating range, and this switch is supplied as a spare for that equipment.
