Knightsbridge Curved Edge 1 Gang DP Switched Socket - White

DP stands for Double Pole. This means the switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires simultaneously, offering a higher level of safety compared to single pole switching.

This specific product is a 1 Gang DP Switched Socket, often used for lighting circuits or specific appliances. For general ring main outlets, a standard 13A Socket Outlet (like the CU7000S sibling product) would typically be used. Consult an electrician for appropriate socket types for your specific wiring.

The white plastic used in the manufacturing process has inherent properties that inhibit the growth of microbes on its surface, contributing to a more hygienic environment.

Knightsbridge generally offers a warranty on their products. Please refer to the specific product packaging or contact the retailer for details on warranty duration and terms.

Electrical installations should always be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations.

A single pole switch only disconnects the live wire, while a double pole (DP) switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires. DP offers a more complete isolation of the circuit.

Verify that the circuit breaker is on and that the wiring connections are secure. Ensure the DP switch is in the 'on' position and that the correct wires are connected to the appropriate terminals.

Check for obstructions around the switch mechanism. If the issue persists, the unit may require replacement by a qualified electrician.

Immediately isolate the power to the socket and replace the unit. Do not use damaged electrical accessories.
