Amapulagi ezimboniAsetshenziswa kakhulu ekuxhumeni ugesi ezindaweni zezimboni, ukuze kufezwe ukuxhumana okuphephile, okuzinzile nokusheshayo kokuxhuma kanye nokukhipha izintambo phakathi kwemishini nemithombo yamandla. Asetshenziswa kabanzi ezimweni ezifana nemishini yasefektri, ukukhiqizwa kwemishini, izindawo zokwakha, imishini yokushisela, amabhokisi okusabalalisa, imikhumbi kanye nokunikezwa kukagesi kwesikhashana kwangaphandle. Umsebenzi wawo oyinhloko ukuthuthukisa ukuphepha kokusetshenziswa kukagesi nokuvimbela ama-plug ajwayelekile ukuthi angahlangani kahle, ahambisane nezimo ezimfushane noma awe ezindaweni ezinomoya ophakeme, ezinomswakama, ezinothuli noma ezidlidlizayo. Ama-plug ezimboni ngokuvamile abonisa ukumelana namanzi, ukumelana nothuli, ukumelana nokushisa okuphezulu, kanye nokumelana nokushayisana. Amazinga okuvikela avamile afaka phakathi i-IP44 ne-IP67.

Ngokuphathelene nentengo, ama-plug ezimboni ahluka kakhulu kuye ngohlobo, izinto ezisetshenziswayo, isilinganiso samanje (16A/32A/63A/125A), izinga lokuvikela, nokuthi anesakhiwo sokukhiya noma cha. Intengo ye-plug evamile yasekhaya ye-16A yezimboni ngokuvamile icishe ibe yi-yuan eyi-10 kuya ku-30. Imininingwane ye-32A icishe ibe yi-yuan engama-20 kuya ku-60. Amamodeli aqinile angama-yuan angama-63A nangaphezulu angabiza ama-yuan angama-80 kuya ku-300 noma ngaphezulu. Amanani emikhiqizo engenisiwe (njengeSchneider, ABB, njll.) avame ukuphindwe kabili kuya kahlanu kunalawo asekhaya.

Sekukonke, ukukhethwa kwamapulagi ezimboni kufanele kusekelwe ekwahluleleni okuphelele kokusetshenziswa kwamanje, izimo zemvelo kanye nezidingo zokuphepha, kunokumane ubheke intengo.
