All that is needed for a three phase installation is a three pole, the neutral is not switched.

Where would one use an automatic transfer switch?
An automatic transfer switch would be used when one needs to switch energy from one source to another and cannot do it manually. It can be used to switch from electric to a generator when needed.
What components would complete an electric circuit?
Positive pole Power, a switch, power use(i.e. Bulb) then connection to negatve pole
What is the difference between double pole and triple pole?
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.
What effect would occur if the intermediate switch were replaced by a double-pole switch?
This looks like a question that has come out of the middle of a conversation. Us poor guys trying to answer the question don't have any context. We don't know what the intermediate switch is; or anything else about the system. You can always use just one side of a two pole switch to replace a single pole switch.
How do you install a switch for a 240 volt motor?
Use a DPST - A two pole switch.
Can a 4-way switch be used like a single pole switch. if so how is it wired?
Are you sure. They no longer produce a single pole switch in the color needed and we thought that a 4 - way could be sub'd. There is no reason that it would not work, electrically. The problem may be that it doesn't meet electrical code. If you use two terminals on the same side of the switch as you would with single pole, it should work.
What is the difference between iron clad double pole switch and double pole single throw switch?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The difference between a double pole switch and a single pole switch is the use of the switch in the installation or equipment. A double pole switch is used when the voltage from two circuits has to be broken. An example of this is a 240 volt supply. A single pole switch is used where there is only a single supply voltage that has to be broken.
What would you use to transfer electrical energy into light and sound energy?
you flip a light switch on and it is turned into light energy
Can a single pole switch can be use as a dimmer?
No a switch just opens and closes a circuit. A switch can be replaced by a dimmer switch. The dimmer switch will fit in the same enclosure that the switch is removed from.
Installing An Emergency Generator With A DPDT Switch?
Some emergency generators can be installed in a home using a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) transfer switch. A DPDT switch basically prevents the emergency generator from pushing power into the utility grid where it can cause a fire or can injure a utility worker. A home that does not have a DPDT transfer switch will need to use another type of emergency generator that runs independently of the electrical wiring in the home.
Can you use a 200 amp automatic transfer switch with a 100 amp service?
Yes you can as long as the sensing coils of the transfer switch are the same as the 100 amp service. The transfer switch has to be able to tell when the voltage is back from the utility side of the switch when the power is restored.
What is difference between single pole and double pole switch?
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.
