Double pole single throw rocker switch wiring diagram. Dp switches control two independent circuits and act like two identical switches that are mechanically linked. 2 methods are explained with associated wiring diagrams. Sp and dp refer to single pole and double pole st and dt refer to single throw and double throw. A double pole double throw switch is actually two single pole double throw spdt switches.
I show how to wire a double switch with. Die bezeichnung wechselschalter sagt nur. Double pole double throw switch dpdt circuit. You can see above how a double pole double throw switch can allow a circuit to be in 1 of 2 modes.
When the switch is connected one way for circuit a and circuit b the lamp and led will both be on. This allows the dc power to be reversed going to the electrical motor. Die schaltkontakte der beiden spdt schalter sind mechanisch miteinander verbunden. It can also be used at home to completely.
When the dpdt switch is switched one way flipped upward in the diagram. To convert connect jumper wire from terminal 3 to terminal 6 and connect terminal 4 to ground diagram f diagram g1 diagram g2 b l 2 4 3 b l 2 4 36 b l 2 4 36 jumper single pole sp double pole dp switch wiring diagrams diagrams represent both momentary contact or maintained contact switches. The dpst switch often appears in circuit breakers where it is used for 240 volt circuits with each pole carrying 120 volts separately. In other words its like two simple switches controlled by a single actuator.
Double pole single throw switch dpst circuit. Double switches sometimes called double pole allow you to separately control the power being sent to multiple places from the same switch. Pole refers to the number of circuits controlled by the switch. Though it is not.
You can see above how a double pole single throw switch can be used to put a circuit in any of 1 of 2 modes. Spdt schalter wechselschalter schaltbild und analogschalter dg469 diagramm. This action then. Below is an example of a circuit which utilizes a double pole double throw switch.
The motors two power leads are reversed at one of the switches screw terminals. Neben dem single pole double throw gibt es noch die zweipolige ausfuehrung den double pole double throw dpdt. Diese ausfuehrung entspricht einer doppelten einpoligen ausfuehrung. What do spst spdt dpst and dpdt mean.
To wire a double switch youll need to cut the power remove the old switch then feed and connect the wires into the double switch fixture. For example you might want to turn on a bathroom light separately from the ceiling fan. Sp switches control only one electrical circuit. A double pole single throw dpst switch controls the connections to two wires at once where each wire only has one possible connection.
An application for this switch is for reversing a direct current dc electrical motor. In this video i give you the characteristics of a dpdt switch and how to wire.
