The Knightsbridge 45A DP switch is a double pole isolator rated at 45 amps, housed in a 2-gang-sized white square edge plate with a red rocker. The red rocker indicates the switch is designed for high-draw circuits such as cookers, electric showers or immersion heaters, where visual identification of the control point matters. Double pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing full circuit isolation rather than just breaking the live.
Designed for residential kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms where fixed high-load appliances need dedicated switching, the unit fits a standard 2-gang back box with a minimum depth of 47mm. The 9mm square edge plate sits flush to the wall with screw cap covers included to hide fixings after installation. The white finish pairs with standard UK electrical accessories across most interior styles.
The plate is moulded from thermoset resin with anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, which inhibits bacterial growth on the surface — a practical feature in kitchens and bathrooms where switches are handled frequently. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor locations. Knightsbridge backs the switch with a 25-year warranty and certifies it to EN 60669-1 for UK electrical safety standards.

What appliances is this switch suitable for?
The 45A rating suits electric cookers, hobs, ovens, electric showers and immersion heaters. The red rocker provides visual identification of high-load circuits in line with UK wiring regulations for cooker control units and shower isolators.
What does double pole switching mean?
Double pole switches isolate both the live and neutral conductors when switched off, rather than just breaking the live line. This provides full circuit isolation and is required by UK regulations for certain high-load appliances.
What back box depth is needed?
A minimum 47mm mounting box depth is required for safe installation. The 2-gang-sized plate measures 146mm high by 86mm wide and projects 9mm from the wall once fitted.
What are the anti-microbial properties?
The thermoset resin is tested to ISO 22196:2011 and inhibits bacterial growth on the surface. This matters in kitchens and bathrooms where switches are handled frequently and hygiene is a priority.
