A power limiter is a device that allows you to protect the electrical installation against too high power levels and, consequently, overload or even short circuit. How can this be prevented? Well, the key to success is the power limiter. Of course, it is necessary to select the appropriate limiter. Solutions worth paying attention to include Zamel power limiters.

What is a power limiter?
A power limiter is one of the most frequently used electrical devices. As the name suggests, this component is designed to limit the flow of power; such control allows you to protect the electrical installation against overload and short circuit; therefore, the limiter ensures the safety of the electrical installation. This is why the described components are used in such diverse facilities as e.g. residential houses, company premises and public utility facilities.
However, we will not delve into theoretical issues here - if you are here, you probably already know what a power limiter is and how to choose it to be satisfied with the decision made.
How to choose a power limiter?
Appropriate selection of power limiter 
is necessary from the point of view of effective protection of the electrical installation and ensuring the efficiency of its operation. When choosing a power limiter, you must take into account, among others: the following factors:
- voltage and power – make sure that the limiter is compatible with the supply voltage. The power value of such a limiter must be adapted to the load in a given installation,
- protective functions – it is extremely important that the device is equipped with protective functions that provide protection against overload and short circuit. These may include options such as a relief switch or an operating status indicator,
- simplicity of installation – sometimes an underestimated factor, but in fact it also needs to be considered when choosing a device. It is worth choosing a limiter that can be installed without the need for additional configuration.
Zamel power limiters – which one to choose?
If you want to use good quality power limiters in your installation, we have a proposition for you - equipment from the manufacturer Zamel . However, this advice is too general because this brand offers dozens of different solutions. Which of them are worth choosing? To answer this question, it is necessary to briefly outline some of the available options.
Limiter 230V AC 0.2-2kW Type: PMM-01
While analyzing the manufacturer's offer, we paid attention to, among others: for the Zamel PMM-01 power limiter . Why is this such a good solution if you want protection against overload in your electrical installation? One of the most important advantages is the simplicity of installation (just... connect this device between the socket and the electrical device).
Of course, the simplicity of installation is an important, but not the only advantage. In addition, it is worth paying attention to such seemingly unimportant elements as e.g. the LED diode, which clearly signals whether a given device is working.
When it comes to technical issues, this power limiter attracts attention, among others: because of the so-called automatic current regulation. Thanks to this, it adapts its work to the load prevailing in a given installation.
Power limiter 100W - 3kW with time setting from 0 to 90s type: PMM-02, EXTA
The Zamel PMM-02 power limiter is a device that allows us to smoothly regulate power in a fairly wide range, i.e. from 0.1 to even 3 kW; all this is done using a potentiometer.
In addition, you can adjust the time at which the relay automatically turns off when the selected power level is exceeded. The PMM-02 power limiter is also equipped with indicators indicating the supply voltage and whether the power level has been exceeded.
Staircase timer with power limiter function 100W - 2KW, 16A, 230VAC, 10s - 10 min, type: ASM-04, EXTA
Another interesting solution is the Zamel ASM-04 staircase automat . Like the other devices on our list, the ASM-04 staircase controller also ensures smooth, no-intervention power shutdown if the installation level turns out to be too high.
It was created using high-quality materials and provides a wide range of power handling (range from 0.1 to 2 kW). These models are dedicated to work only in certain facilities (mainly staircases, corridors, etc.).
