Where the Tesla DP35 Double Pole 35A Switch Mechanism Is Used

A double pole switch mechanism switches both the active and neutral conductors of a circuit simultaneously — providing full isolation of the connected load from the supply when the switch is open. This is required for high-current appliance circuits in Australian residential and commercial installations where full double pole isolation is mandated or specified.

The DP35 at 35A is the standard switch mechanism specified for dedicated high-current appliance circuits including electric stoves and cooktops, ovens, large air conditioning units, hot water systems, and other high-draw single phase appliances where a 35A double pole switch is required at the outlet or appliance isolator position. It installs into a standard Australian grid plate gang position — the same position used by standard 16A single pole switch mechanisms — allowing it to be fitted into any Tesla Classic, Tesla Slimline, or Clipsal grid plate without special hardware.

Sibling 35A double pole switch mechanisms in the Tesla range include the HOT/35 (hot plate label), OVEN/35 (oven label), and STOVE switch mechanisms — all sharing the same 35A double pole electrical specification but with different engraved labels for appliance identification. The plain DP35 carries no appliance label and is used where a generic double pole isolator is required.

Q: What is the difference between a single pole and double pole switch mechanism?
A: A single pole switch mechanism switches the active conductor only — the neutral remains permanently connected. A double pole switch mechanism (DP35) switches both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously, providing full electrical isolation of the load from the supply. Double pole switching is required for high-current appliance circuits and wherever full isolation is specified or mandated.

Q: What is the difference between the DP35, HOT/35, and OVEN/35 switch mechanisms?
A: All three are 35A double pole switch mechanisms with identical electrical specifications. The difference is the engraved label on the mechanism face — DP35 has no label (plain), HOT/35 is labelled "HOT PLATE", and OVEN/35 is labelled "OVEN". Use the plain DP35 where no appliance label is required, or where a generic double pole isolator is specified.

Q: Is the Tesla DP35 compatible with Clipsal grid plates?
A: Yes — the Tesla DP35 is compatible with Tesla Classic Series, Tesla Slimline Series, and Clipsal brand grid plates, as well as all other Australian standard grid plates.
