The term double-throw means that the operator can place or "throw" the switch into two different positions. One position feeds power from the utility system to the load. The other position feeds power from the standby generator to the load. Such a switch will prevent electricity, generated by the standby unit, to flow simultaneously to both the customer's home or farmstead, and to the utility's system.

What game or sport must you throw a double before you can begin scoring?

The game that requires you to throw a double before you can begin scoring is darts.

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

How do double throw double pole switches function in electrical circuits?

Double throw double pole switches have two separate circuits that can be controlled by a single switch. This allows for more flexibility in how the circuits are connected or disconnected. When the switch is flipped, it can change the connection of both circuits simultaneously, making it useful for applications where multiple connections need to be switched at the same time.
