Best Answer

No, a switch is used to control the circuit voltage that is applied to the fixture for turning the fixture on and off. The starter in the fluorescent fixture is used to start the current flowing through the filaments in the fixture's tubes. After a specific time, the starter heats up the circuit is opened and the current then flows through the fluorescent tubes.

No. Starter comes in the circuit initially and then cuts off once the tube is on. If you use the switch, it wont be cut off automatically. If you want to use the switch manually then it technically possible to do so

What is the single pole and double throw switch?

A single pole switch is the ordinary switch that is used to turn the lights off and on in your home. A double throw switch is also known as a 3-way switch in North America. A double throw switch has a single pole connected to a common screw or terminal, often black. There are 2 additional screws or terminals, often brass colored. In one switch position this pole is connected to one of these screws or terminals and in the other position it connects to the other screw or terminal. If you think of a baseball diamond as an example for this switch, in one position the base line from home to first is hot. In the other position the base line from home to third is hot.


Can a three way switch be changed to a single pole switch with a plate over one of the switch locations?

Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole

What is the necessity of the starter.Can a single pole switch replace it?

A motor starter usually has an overload heater incorporated into it. A single pole switch does not have that type of protection. There are many brands of fractional motor starter switches. These types of switches are sized by the motors full load amperage. These types are dual purpose being that they can be used as the motors isolation switch and also they can be used as motor protection for the connected motor.

Where can a circuit with two lamps with single pole switch fluorescent lamp with two 2 way and an intermediate control can be used?

This type of circuit would never be used. The two way fluorescent system would depend on the voltage being supplied by the two lamp circuit switch. If the switch turns off the two lamp circuit the rest of the circuit with the fluorescent fixture would become inoperable.
