The Knightsbridge 45A DP switch provides double-pole switching with a neon indicator, finished in anthracite with a contrasting white rocker. The switch is rated for 45A at 230V, making it suitable for high-draw circuits such as cookers, ovens and electric showers where a dedicated isolator is required. The neon indicator glows red when the circuit is live, providing visual confirmation of power status even when the appliance is not in use.
Part M compliant design means the white rocker provides high visual contrast against the anthracite faceplate, which in turn contrasts with most wall colours. The anthracite finish has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of approximately 8.9, meeting Building Regulations Part M recommendations for accessible installations where switches must be easily identifiable for users with visual impairments. The raised rocker profile and tactile ON marking on the top edge support accessible operation.
The faceplate is constructed from thermoset resin with certified anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, reducing bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces. The 86mm x 86mm faceplate fits standard single-gang UK back boxes with a minimum depth of 47mm and projects 7mm from the wall once installed. The IP20 rating suits dry indoor locations. Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty.

What is a 45A DP switch used for?
A 45A double-pole switch is typically used as an isolator for high-power appliances like electric cookers, ovens, ranges and electric showers. The double-pole switching disconnects both live and neutral lines when turned off, providing full circuit isolation for maintenance and safety.
What does Part M compliant mean?
Part M of the Building Regulations sets standards for accessible design. This switch meets Part M by providing high visual contrast between the white rocker and anthracite faceplate, making it easier to identify for users with visual impairments. The raised rocker profile and tactile ON marking also support accessible operation.
What back box depth is required?
A minimum mounting box depth of 47mm is needed for safe installation. The faceplate itself projects 7mm from the wall once fitted.
What does the neon indicator show?
The neon indicator glows red when the circuit is live, providing visual confirmation that power is reaching the switch even when the connected appliance is not currently operating. When the switch is turned off, the neon goes out.
