A power limiter is a device that allows you to protect the electrical installation from too high a power level, and consequently from overload or even short circuit. How can you prevent this? Well, the key to success is a power limiter. Of course, it is necessary to select the right limiter. Among the solutions worth paying attention to are Zamel power limiters.

What is a power limiter?
A power limiter is one of the most commonly 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 from 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 residential houses, company premises or 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 you should choose it to be satisfied with the decision made.
How to choose a power limiter?
Proper selection of power limiter 
is necessary from the point of view of effective protection of the electrical installation and ensuring its efficiency. When selecting a power limiter, the following factors must be taken into account:
- 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 the 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 an overload switch or an operating status indicator,
- simplicity of installation – sometimes an underestimated factor, but in reality it is also necessary to consider it 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 suggestion for you, namely equipment from the manufacturer Zamel . However, such advice is too general, because this brand offers dozens of different solutions. Which ones are worth choosing? To answer this question, it is necessary to briefly present several available options.
Limiter 230V AC 0.2-2kW Type: PMM-01
While analyzing the manufacturer's offer, we paid attention to, among others, the Zamel PMM-01 power limiter . Why is it such a good solution if you care about protection against overload in the 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 assembly is an important, but not the only advantage. In addition, it is worth paying attention to such seemingly insignificant elements as the LED diode, which clearly signals to us whether a given device is working.
In terms of technical aspects, this power limiter attracts attention, among other things, because of the so-called automatic current regulation. Thanks to this, it adapts its operation 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 in which the relay automatically switches off after exceeding the selected power level. The PMM-02 power limiter is also equipped with indicator lights that inform about the supply voltage and whether the power level has been exceeded.
Staircase switch with power limiter function 100W - 2KW, 16A, 230VAC, 10s - 10 min, type: ASM-04, EXTA
Another interesting solution is the Zamel ASM-04 staircase automatic device . Like the other devices on our list, the ASM-04 staircase automatic device also ensures smooth, interference-free power off if the installation level is too high.
It was created using high-quality materials and provides a wide range of supported power (range from 0.1 to 2 kW). These models are dedicated to work only in certain facilities (mainly staircases, corridors, etc.).
