Tesla OVEN/35 Double Pole 35A Oven Switch Mechanism

Description

Tesla OVENM. Oven Switch Mechanism. Double Pole 35A 250V. White. "OVEN" Engraved.

The Tesla OVENM is a double pole 35A switch mechanism with "OVEN" engraved on the rocker — designed for electric oven circuits in Australian residential and commercial kitchens. Double pole switching breaks both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously, which is the mandatory switching requirement for oven and cooking appliance circuits under Australian wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000). Rated 35A, suits 3×2.5mm² cable. Compatible with Tesla and Clipsal Brand Grid Plates. White bakelite body. Sold individually.

About the Tesla OVENM Oven Switch Mechanism

The OVENM is a 35A double pole switch mechanism with "OVEN" engraved on the rocker — part of the Tesla engraved cooking appliance mechanism range that allows each cooking circuit in a kitchen installation to be clearly identified at the switch plate. The "OVEN" engraving identifies the wall switch as the oven circuit isolator, distinguishing it from adjacent mechanisms that may control the hotplate (HOTM), range hood (RANGEM), or hob (HOBM) circuits on the same multi-gang plate.

Australian wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) require double pole switching for cooking appliance circuits — the switch must break both the active and the neutral conductors simultaneously to ensure complete isolation of the oven when switched off. A single pole switch that only breaks the active conductor would leave the neutral energised, creating a non-compliant and potentially unsafe condition. The OVENM's 2-pole construction satisfies this requirement, providing compliant double pole isolation for the oven circuit at the wall.

The OVENM is physically and electrically identical to the HOTM, STOVEM, RANGEM, and HOBM mechanisms — all are double pole, 35A, 250V mechanisms suited to the same range of cooking appliance circuits. The only difference between them is the engraving on the rocker face. Choose the engraving that matches the appliance being switched at that plate position.

Q: What is the difference between OVENM and HOTM?
A: Both are double pole 35A 250V mechanisms — physically and electrically identical. The only difference is the rocker engraving: OVENM has "OVEN" engraved, HOTM has "HOT" engraved. Use OVENM to identify the oven circuit switch; use HOTM for the hotplate circuit switch.

Q: Why does the OVENM need to be double pole?
A: Australian wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) require double pole switching for cooking appliance circuits. Both the active and neutral conductors must be switched simultaneously to ensure complete isolation. A single pole switch only breaks the active — the neutral would remain energised, which is non-compliant for oven and cooking appliance installations.

Q: Which plates is the OVENM compatible with?
A: The OVENM is compatible with Tesla and Clipsal brand grid plates. It clips into any gang position in these plates.
