I bought a Double pole switch. Why, I don't know. I looked in my trusty electrical handbook and my copy of the 2007 NESC handbook (to most wasted $65.00 I've ever spent) and nowhere is there a reference to a "Double Pole Switch". So, what is a "Double Pole Switch" and what is it used for.
I've used many a single pole switch and a number of 3 way switches in my time but this one's got me a bit baffled.
TIA
