{"title":"DP Switches","description":"\u003cp\u003eShop double pole switches for UAE homes and apartments — MK Electric and Schneider Electric in 20A and 45A ratings, finished in white, dark grey and wine gold. A DP switch breaks live and neutral together, which is why it is the standard control for a water heater, cooker or other fixed appliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy does the neutral get switched too?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn ordinary light switch interrupts the live conductor only. On a fixed appliance that gets serviced — a water heater element, a cooker — breaking both poles isolates the appliance from the supply rather than leaving a connected neutral behind it.

A domestic water heater is typically controlled by a 20A DP switch; a cooker or range draws far more and takes a 45A unit. The Schneider AvatarOn water heater switches are stocked in both ratings, and the MK Essentials 20AX wide rocker with neon covers the lighter load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is a cooker control unit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MK 45A units combine the double pole switch with a 13A switched socket on one plate, so the cooker point also gives you a worktop socket. Neon and non-neon versions are both stocked — the neon simply shows at a glance that the appliance is switched on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are fixed-wiring accessories on dedicated circuits, not plug-in items.
