Click GridPro 20AX DP Switch Module - For Dishwasher Isolation - Antique Brass
This 20AX double pole GridPro switch module in antique brass provides safe and reliable isolation for dishwashers and fixed appliances within domestic and commercial settings. Rated at 20A inductive (AX) with 250V AC operation, it is suitable for circuits protected by up to 20A MCB/RCBO. Double pole switching meets I.S. 10101 and BS 7671 isolation requirements, ideal for appliances such as dishwashers, immersion heaters, and HVAC control. Not recommended for wet locations—IP20 rating restricts use to dry, indoor environments.
- Antique Brass finish, black insert, “Dishwasher” engraving
- 20AX switching capacity for isolating inductive or resistive loads up to 20A on protected circuits
- Double pole (DP) action ensures full disconnection, compliant with I.S. 10101 / BS 7671
- Screw termination supports 3 × 2.5mm² or 2 × 4mm² solid conductors, facilitating integration on existing 16A or 20A circuits
- IP20 ingress protection: for indoor use only, not suitable for areas exposed to moisture
Installation must be by a qualified electrician. Module does not alter the circuit rating and should not be used to upgrade existing electrical installations.
