A high voltage pole top switch has joined linkage from the top cross-arm switch to a D handle at ground level. This switch is kept in a padlocked state when open or closed. When the switch needs to be opened by linemen it is unlocked and the D handle is moved to the down position and re locked. This is so that the switch does not get inadvertently closed, and the line becomes re energised, while workmen are still on the circuit.

Why does a triple pole single throw switch close from the bottom to the top?
The electrical code states that a switch is to be mounted so that the handle of the switch is on in the up position. It is a safety issue that if the switch handle gets inadvertently bumped or hit it will move the switch to the off position and not to the on position. It is not just a triple pole switch is it any power distribution switch.
What will happen in a circuit if the intermediate switch is replace by a double pole switch?
The circuit will not work. The intermediate switch has to be a cross over switch. Visualise and draw on a piece of paper a rectangular box. Label the switch terminals as top left A , top right B, bottom left C and bottom right D. In one position of the toggle handle the terminals A - B are connected. In the same handle position C -D are connected. In the other handle position A - D are connected. In the same handle position C - B are connected. A double pole switch will just open both lines and the circuit stops working. The answer following this answer is not referring to an intermeadiate switch but replacing a single pole (SP) switch with a double pole (DP) switch. <<>> Replacing a single pole (SP) switch with a double pole (DP) switch would be ok as long as it's rated as good or higher than the switch it's replacing, and as long as it fits. It may weigh more than a SP switch as a DP switch would be slightly larger and have more contacts. If replacing a SP switch with a DP switch, using one with the Off position in the middle may cause confusion. If replacing a SP switch with a DP switch on a circuit board it may not fit if the board is crowded. You may also have to clip off the unused lead(s) as there may not be any provision (thru hole(s)) on the board for them (or it).
Can you get electrocuted if the switch is off but the breaker is on?
Yes you can. The proper wiring of a switch is to bring the hot wire to the top of the switch terminal and connect the load to the bottom of the switch. When the breaker is turned off it disconnects the voltage from the top of the switch and the switch is then safe to work on. By not turning the breaker off, the voltage is present at the top of the switch which could subject you to a nasty shock if you come into contact with it.
How do you wire a double-pole single-throw switch?
In North America adouble pole single throw switch is usually used to disconnect a 240 voltload by disconnecting both hot supply wires. This is a safety procedure to prevent someone getting a shock when working on the load and thinking the supply is off just by opening the switch. Although just opening up one leg will turn the load off the remaining leg will still be "hot" to neutral and ground. The "hot" wires go to the top of the switch terminals and the load connects to the bottom two terminals on the switch.
