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.

What is a DPST switch?
DPST is short for double pole, single throw. Double pole means that the unit contains two identical switches, side by side, and operated by one single toggle or lever. This means that two separate input wires can be controlled by a flick of one toggle. Single throw means that each switch can make or break a circuit; it can connect the input wire to the output, or not. It can't connect to one or other of two output wires, switching between them. A DPDT switch is also used for a disconnecting a 240 volt supply from a 240 volt load. Some other types of switches are Single Pole Single Throw (ordinary light switch), Single Pole Double Throw, Double Pole Double Throw, Triple Pole Single Throw and Triple Pole Double Throw
What does double pole single throw means?
DPST is like two SPST that are actuated by single switching mechanism. In other words two switches turned on/off by one lever action or push button.
How can I change a light switch to a dimmer switch?
To change a light switch to a dimmer switch, first turn off the power to the switch at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing switch cover and switch. Disconnect the wires from the old switch and connect them to the dimmer switch according to the manufacturer's instructions. Install the dimmer switch into the electrical box and secure it in place. Finally, replace the switch cover and turn the power back on to test the dimmer switch.
