Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is the difference between DP (Double Pole) and SP (Single Pole) switches?

A Double Pole switch disconnects both live and neutral wires, providing complete electrical isolation, while a Single Pole switch only breaks the live wire. DP switches are safer for high-power appliances and required by electrical codes for certain installations.

2) Why do I need an indicator on this switch?

The indicator light shows at a glance whether the appliance is powered, preventing accidental operation and helping you verify complete disconnection during maintenance. It's especially useful for appliances in remote locations or behind cabinets.

3) Can I use this 32A switch for a 1.5-ton air conditioner?

Yes, a 1.5-ton AC typically draws 10-15A, well within the 32A capacity. The higher rating provides a safety margin and accommodates startup surge current, which can be 2-3 times the running current for AC compressors.

4) What wire size should I use with this 32A switch?

Use 4 sq mm (10 AWG) copper wire as minimum for 32A circuits. For longer cable runs exceeding 15 meters, consider 6 sq mm wire to minimize voltage drop. Always follow local electrical codes and consult a licensed electrician.

5) Is this switch suitable for three-phase equipment?

No, this is a single-phase double pole switch designed for 240V single-phase applications. For three-phase equipment, you need a triple pole (TP) or four-pole switch rated for three-phase voltage.

6) Can I use this switch as a main isolator for my home?

While technically capable, this switch is designed for individual appliance control, not whole-house isolation. For main isolation, use a proper main switch or MCB rated for your total load and installed in your distribution board.
