Tesla WGPO2D Double Pole 10A GPO Power Point 240V Caravan RV

Description

Tesla WGPO2D. Double Pole Double GPO. 10A 250V. Caravan, RV, Trailer and Construction.

The Tesla WGPO2D is a double pole twin switched socket outlet — a double GPO (two socket outlets) where both the active and neutral conductors are switched simultaneously when each outlet switch is operated. Double pole switching provides complete isolation of the outlet from both supply conductors, which is a mandatory requirement for socket outlets in caravans, motorhomes, trailers, construction sites, and marine applications under Australian wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000). Standard 116mm × 76mm plate format, 84mm mounting centres. Compliant with AS/NZS 3112. Sold individually.

Why Double Pole Switching is Required for Caravans, RVs, and Trailers

Under Australian wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000), socket outlets installed in caravans, motorhomes, and trailers must be double pole switched — meaning both the active and the neutral conductors are broken simultaneously when the outlet switch is operated or when the outlet is switched off. This requirement exists because in mobile structures, the polarity of the supply (which conductor is active and which is neutral) cannot be guaranteed — the caravan or RV may be connected to a supply where the active and neutral are reversed from the expected orientation. A single pole switch that only breaks the active conductor may leave the neutral energised when polarity is reversed, creating an unsafe condition. Double pole switching eliminates this risk by breaking both conductors regardless of supply polarity.

The same double pole switching requirement applies to socket outlets on construction sites and in marine applications. The WGPO2D is also specified in domestic and commercial installations where full isolation from both supply conductors is required or desired at the outlet — for example, in workshops, outdoor entertainment areas, and equipment rooms where complete disconnect is important for safety or maintenance.

The WGPO2D is physically identical to the standard Tesla GPO2 double power point in plate format and dimensions — 116mm × 76mm, 84mm mounting centres, standard horizontal orientation. It installs into a standard wall box with no special brackets required. The visual difference from a single pole GPO2 is minimal — the double pole mechanism is internal. Correct labelling or outlet identification is important to distinguish double pole outlets in an installation.

Q: What is the difference between a double pole (WGPO2D) and a standard single pole (GPO2) power point?
A: A standard single pole power point (GPO2) switches only the active conductor. A double pole power point (WGPO2D) switches both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously. Both have two socket outlets and look similar externally. The double pole version is required by AS/NZS 3000 for caravans, motorhomes, trailers, and construction site outlets — and is preferred wherever full isolation from both supply conductors is needed.

Q: Can the WGPO2D be used in a house or commercial building?
A: Yes — the WGPO2D can be used in any standard installation where double pole switching is required or preferred. It installs the same way as a standard double GPO and fits the same wall boxes and brackets. It is most commonly specified for caravan/RV, construction, and marine applications but is equally valid for domestic and commercial use where full pole isolation is wanted.

Q: Does the WGPO2D fit a standard wall box?
A: Yes — the WGPO2D is 116mm × 76mm with 84mm mounting centres, matching the standard Australian wall box and bracket format. No special brackets are required.
