Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a double pole light switch mechanism, and why is it important for caravans and RVs?

A double pole light switch mechanism isolates both the active and neutral wires simultaneously when switched off, which enhances safety by fully disconnecting the electrical circuit. This is crucial in caravans and RVs to prevent electrical faults and comply with Australian electrical safety regulations.

Are double pole mechanisms required by Australian standards for caravan lighting?

While specific installation standards may vary, double pole switching is widely recommended and often required in caravan and RV electrical systems to ensure full circuit isolation and safe operation under mobile conditions.

What amp ratings are common for double pole light switches in caravans?

Electrotraders offers mechanisms rated commonly at 10 Amp for standard lighting loads and 35 Amp for higher power requirements, ensuring compatibility with a variety of caravan lighting setups.

Can these double pole switch mechanisms be used in other mobile or industrial applications?

Yes, these switches are suitable for any portable or mobile electrical installation needing reliable circuit isolation, including event equipment, mobile workshops, and other industrial or recreational vehicles.

What is the difference between wafer slimline and square switch mechanisms?

Wafer slimline switches have a compact profile suitable for tight spaces or modern faceplates like Clipsal styles, while square mechanisms provide a traditional form factor preferred for certain panel designs and durability.

Do you provide switches in different colors?

Yes, Electrotraders stocks double pole mechanisms in standard white, black, and beige finishes to match the interior styling of caravans and RVs or customer preferences.
