I am looking into using this switch as my main power switch.

http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_32&products_id=376

Since this is a 3-pole switch, can I simply wire it H-H-N and run my ground to the ground terminal block and will my GFCI still function properly? My panel uses both 220 and 110. I may be over thinking this, but better safe than sorry. Thanks!

You really don't need to worry about switching your Neutral line. No hazard in having it switched, but if the two hot lines are switched, the neutral shouldn't have any current anyways. You can install it as you describe as your main panel power, so long as you're not drawing more than the listed amperage.

Thanks BadNews. I thought I might be overthinking this. I never even considered just running the hots through the switch. That makes total sense though.
