All that is needed for a three phase installation is a three pole, the neutral is not switched.
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.
Positive pole Power, a switch, power use(i.e. Bulb) then connection to negatve pole
No, a 3-way switch cannot be used as a single pole switch because they are designed for different wiring configurations.

Use a DPST - A two pole switch.
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.
Double pole refers to a switch that controls two separate electrical circuits, while triple pole refers to a switch that controls three separate electrical circuits. Triple pole switches are typically used for applications that require more complex wiring configurations or higher voltage control compared to double pole switches.
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.
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.
No, a 3-way switch is designed for use in a circuit with two switches controlling one light fixture. It cannot be used for a single pole application where only one switch controls the light.
you flip a light switch on and it is turned into light energy
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.
