Tronic Black Double Pole Switch with Neon, 45A

Our review

This is a double pole switch rated at 45 amps, finished in black with a neon indicator and a smooth, shiny surface. The 45A rating puts it in the range used for heavier household loads, so it suits large ovens, water heaters and similar high-draw appliances where you want a way to isolate the circuit safely. The neon gives a visible indication at the switch, which is useful when the appliance itself is out of sight. Before buying, confirm your circuit's current rating and cable size match a 45A switch, and check the mounting arrangement suits your wall box, since no dimensions or terminal details are listed here. Compared with a standard 20A double pole switch, this handles considerably more current, so it is the better choice for a single large appliance rather than general lighting or socket circuits. If you only need to switch a small load, a lower-rated unit will usually do and may fit more easily. Available on Sokonia.
