The double pole design isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing a full break for high-load appliances such as cookers, electric ovens and shower circuits up to 10.8kW at 230V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for kitchen, utility room and bathroom installation where cookers or electric showers require a dedicated switch, the 45A rating handles the sustained high current loads that these appliances draw. The neon indicator glows red when the circuit is live, giving clear visual confirmation of the switch state from across the room. The red rocker provides additional visual coding, often used to denote high-power circuits in commercial and hospitality installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white plate is moulded from thermoset resin with a 7mm gently contoured profile and rounded edges, designed to resist impact and heat better than standard thermoplastic alternatives. Anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011 inhibit bacterial growth on the plate surface, making this switch suitable for healthcare, care home and food preparation environments. The switch fits a standard 47mm minimum back box depth and includes screw cap covers to hide fixings once installed.\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.
