Switches and disconnects

Double throw safety switches

Eaton’s double-throw safety switches include two interlocked switches with a common connection used to transfer service from a normal power source to an alternate source, or to switch from one load circuit to another. The interlock ensures both switches cannot be closed at the same time, preventing them from being operated in parallel. Additionally, double-throw safety switches are available in general duty and heavy duty as well as quick-connect options.
