Double Pole (DP) Switch

A Double Pole (DP) Switch is an electrical switching device designed to disconnect two conductors simultaneously in a compatible circuit. In single-phase installations, it can switch both the live and neutral conductors when correctly selected and installed.

DP switches are commonly used for local isolation of compatible appliances and electrical equipment. The required current rating, voltage rating and switching arrangement depend on the specific product and application.

Key features

• Double-pole switching: Switches two conductors simultaneously.
• Local isolation: Provides a convenient means of switching compatible equipment off.
• Multiple ratings: Available in different current and voltage ratings, depending on the model.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for compatible fixed electrical installations.
• Wall-mounted options: Some models are designed for wall mounting with a compatible back box.

Technical specifications

Applications

• Compatible appliance isolation
• Selected water-heater circuits
• Suitable fixed electrical equipment
• Compatible single-phase electrical installations

Installation and safety

Choose a DP switch with an appropriate current rating and utilization category for the connected load. Check compatibility with the circuit, wiring and applicable electrical requirements. A switch must not be treated as a substitute for suitable circuit protection.

Installation should be completed by a qualified electrician after isolating the supply and verifying that the circuit is safe to work on.
