Priority switches are used in installations where the existing conductor cross-sections or the size of the power supply connection do not allow simultaneous operation of two high-power consumers (e.g., storage heating and heat exchanger). Priority switches disconnect the long-term consumer (storage heating) as long as the short-term consumer (heat exchanger) is switched on. The coil of the priority switch is connected in series with the short-term consumer. When the consumer is switched on, the normally open contact of the priority switch disconnects, for example, the relay of the heating system.
