Q: What does double pole switching do?
A: It disconnects both the live and the neutral when the socket is switched off. A single pole switch only breaks the live.

Q: Can I use this socket in a kitchen?
A: Yes. It is a standard 13A switched socket suited to kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms and offices.
