there is no answer a single pole socket is a 120v and a double pole is 240v if you are talking about contactors it is completely up to the appliance but a double pole double throw is just as safe as a single pole single throw contactor,

Example a single pole single throw will only disconnect the "hot" wire, not the neutral or ground wire and thus no voltage will pass however with a 240 v circuit a double pole single throw only disconnects one "hot" wire and will still have voltage through the circuit (120 volts not 240 though)and is not as safe as a double pole double throw that will disconnect both "hot" lines so no voltage is in circuit

If you need electrical work done and do not completely know how to wire it up to code and be safe in the process hire a professional! >>>ITS WORTH YOUR LIFE<<<
