A fused spur unit is used to provide a switched connection point for fixed appliances, offering both isolation and protection with a fuse. It's commonly used for appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, or water heaters.
Double pole switching disconnects both the live and neutral conductors simultaneously, providing a higher level of safety by ensuring the appliance is completely isolated from the mains supply.
The integrated neon indicator clearly shows the status. When illuminated, the spur is switched on; when unlit, it is switched off.
