A three-pole switch has three separate sets of contacts that can be used to control three different circuits. When the switch is flipped, it can open or close the connections in each of these circuits simultaneously, allowing for more complex control of electrical devices or systems.
The light switch symbol in electrical circuits represents a device that can control the flow of electricity to a light fixture or other electrical device. It is used to turn the device on or off by opening or closing the circuit.
A 3 pole switch is a type of electrical switch that has three separate sets of contacts, enabling it to control three separate circuits simultaneously. This type of switch is often used in larger electrical systems where multiple circuits need to be controlled independently.
A double pole switch in an electrical circuit controls the flow of electricity to two separate circuits simultaneously. It can turn both circuits on or off at the same time, providing a convenient way to control multiple devices or lights with a single switch.
A switch, interruptor, or commutateur is an electromechanical device that allows or interrupts the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It can be manually operated or automatically controlled. Switches are commonly used to open or close circuits, control the operation of electrical devices, or select between different circuits.
An electromagnetic switch with a movable core is called a solenoid. Solenoids are commonly used in various applications such as actuating valves, controlling electrical circuits, and in automotive starter systems. When energized, the electromagnetic field generated by the solenoid causes the movable core to move, thereby activating the switch.
A three-way rocker switch can be used in electrical circuits to control a light or other device from two different locations. It allows the user to turn the device on or off from either switch position, providing convenience and flexibility in controlling the circuit.
A relay is a smaller, more sensitive switch that is used to control low-power circuits, while a contactor is a larger, more robust switch that is used to control high-power circuits. Relays are typically used in control circuits to switch smaller loads, while contactors are used to switch larger loads such as motors or heaters. Both devices work by using an electromagnet to open or close the contacts, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity in a circuit.
A 20A switch is a type of electrical switch designed to handle up to 20 amps of current flow. It is commonly used in circuits with higher power requirements to safely control the flow of electricity.

A double pole switch is a type of electrical switch that has two separate sets of contacts that can control two separate circuits. This means it can control two different devices or lights independently. In contrast, a single pole switch only has one set of contacts and can only control one circuit or device.
Switches in electrical circuits are typically wired in series with the load they control. This means that the switch interrupts the flow of current to the load when turned off, and allows current to pass through when turned on. The switch is connected to the hot (live) wire coming from the power source, and the other terminal of the switch is connected to the load.
