A Power Switch is a Utility used to control the flow of electricity between a section of Electrical Cable and a Power Station, Capacitor, or another section of Electrical Cable. A Power Switch can be in one of two states: On or Off. When On, it functions as an Electrical Cable, allowing electricity to flow through. When Off, it prevents electricity from flowing through.

A Power Switch can also Connect to other Wired objects - any Logic Object -, such as a Door Servo. And can be part of a Logic Circuit.

Usage Examples[]

They are generally used to cut the power down of an area where something dangerous could occur, I.E. the kitchen: fire can be prevented if power is down during a riot.

Or it can be connected to a Door Timer to control the power supply of Phone Taps, so that they can be online only during Yard hours [1].

Requires[]

The Power Switch can be placed in any location that is not already occupied by another object or wall. However, a Power Switch can be placed on an existing Electrical Cable. It then replaces that section of electrical Cable.
