A single pole double throw time clock is just a time clock that has the capabilities of opening/breaking up-to two legs of a given circuit. For example ( a 208 volt, 240 volt, 277 volt ) circuit that needs to have both phase conductors isolated by means of mechanical switching. You can use it to also control two separate 120 volt circuit as well as long as the neutral does not need to be opened/broken by the time clock.

RossA single pole double throw time clock is a type of switch that allows an electrical circuit to be connected to one of two separate circuits at different times. It is commonly used in applications where devices need to be turned on or off at specific times, such as lighting systems or heating systems.

Which is best double pole or single pole power socket?
It depends on your specific electrical needs. Single pole sockets are more common and provide power to one circuit. Double pole sockets offer additional safety by cutting off power to both live and neutral wires, making them suitable for high-power appliances or areas where safety is a concern. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the best option for your situation.
What is the difference between single pole double throw switch and single pole single throw switch?
A single pole double throw (SPDT) switch has three terminals: one input and two outputs. It can connect the input to either of the two outputs. A single pole single throw (SPST) switch has only two terminals: one input and one output. It simply opens or closes the circuit.
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
What does the abbreviation DPDT stands for what type of switch?
DPDT stands for Double Pole Double Throw. It is a type of switch that has two separate circuits controlled by a single mechanism, allowing the switch to control two independent sets of contacts.
