The rocker mechanism controls a 45A load on 230V mains, typically used for electric cookers, ovens, hobs and other high-draw kitchen appliances that require isolation switching beyond the 13A rating of standard socket outlets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for residential kitchen installation, the switch fits a standard 1-gang back box with a minimum depth of 47mm and mounts flush to the wall. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when the switch is turned off, providing full electrical isolation for the appliance circuit rather than just breaking the live connection. The white rocker shows a red 'ON' indicator when the switch is in the closed position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe faceplate is made from thermoset resin with anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on the switch surface in high-contact kitchen environments. The 7mm contoured profile and rounded edges give a softer visual presence than square-edged plates, and the white finish integrates cleanly with standard white wall finishes and kitchen cabinetry. Screw cap covers are included to conceal the fixing screws once the plate is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnightsbridge certifies this switch to EN 60669-1 and backs it with a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects. The IP20 rating confirms the switch is suitable for dry indoor locations but not for outdoor use or damp zones such as bathrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
