Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole
4-pole changeover switch connects also the neutral wire. 3-pole changeover switch connects only the 3 live wires.
the black wire is the hot wire
On a single pole single throw there is no common terminal. On a single pole double throw it is the terminal that is common to both the top and bottom terminals. The "hot" wire is connected to the common terminal so that when the switch is in the up position that terminal becomes energized and there will be no no voltage on the bottom terminal. When the switch is in the down position the bottom terminal becomes energized and there will be no voltage on the top terminal. In relays thisis known as a C form configuration.
Double pole Single Throw switches are sometimes called DPST switches. Assuming the circuit is single phase two wire system, DPST - are used to isolate the ciruit. Isoloation occurs on both terminals hence it is called double pole. This isolation occurs at only one end in the circuit, hence it is called single throw.
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
You cannot wire a single pole switch and 3 way switch together.
A switch is inserted in series with a single wire. When the switch is on, it is as if the wire had not been opened to insert the switch. When the switch is off the wire is open and no current can flow. All a double pole switch does is allows you to switch two separate wires at the same time with the same switch action. A single pole switch just switches one wire.
A single pole switch interrupts only one wire, which must be the live wire. A double pole switch interrupts both the live and the neutral, so it contains two separate switches operated by the same lever. Current practice is to use single-pole switches, to avoid a fault condition which could leave equipment live while switched off.

A double pole single throw switch. used to switch two lines at the same time.
To open or close a single wire connection between a power source and a load.
A single pole single throw switch (SPST) is used to open or close a contact to a single wire. It can be used as an on/off switch for an appliance or for a light bulb.

Yes it does because a single-pole switch interrupts only one wire which has to be the live one.
A single-pole switch is an on/off switch that switches a single wire such as the circuit to your overhead light. A double pole switch is also an on/off switch that switches two wires. You would use this to switch as 240 volt circuit (which requires two hot wires) or if you had two circuit you wanted to switch at the same time. I've used them when I had two large light circuits that required two breakers that I wanted to switch with one switch.
The switch will be wired in series with the motor. It is connected between the supply voltage and the motor's junction box. The switch will break the black wire while the white wire is just wire nutted together and is carried directly through to the motor.
