What is Double Pole Switching?
A double pole switch breaks both the live and neutral connections simultaneously, providing complete electrical isolation. This is essential for certain appliances and required by regulations for equipment like water heaters, immersion heaters and some cooking appliances. Single pole switches only break the live connection, whereas double pole switches provide full isolation for safer maintenance and servicing.
Applications:
- Immersion heater control
- Water heater isolation
- Electric cooker circuits
- Kitchen appliance control (ovens, hobs)
- Workshop equipment isolation
- Commercial kitchen installations
- Any application requiring full circuit isolation
Why Use MK Grid Plus?
MK Grid Plus is a modular wiring accessory system that allows you to create custom switch and socket configurations to suit your exact requirements. Individual modules (switches, sockets, fuse units, dimmers, data outlets) clip into mounting frames, which are then fitted into standard grid plates. This flexibility makes Grid Plus ideal for kitchens, workshops, offices and anywhere requiring multiple electrical functions in a single location.
Installation:
The module clips easily into place from the front of any MK Grid Plus mounting frame - no tools required for module installation. The front-loading design means you can add, remove or reconfigure modules without dismantling the entire installation. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is required for all electrical work.

- 2-module frames (1-gang plates)
