SO, I am starting to build the control panel for my brewery and I had a question about load switches that I was hoping you guys could help me with. I will have a 120V line running in on a 20A circuit. The switch would provide an ON-OFF function for power to the panel (think red and yellow ones) I was wondering about the ratings:
1. Do I just have to make sure the Amp rating is greater than 20A?
2. In terms of the number of poles in the switch, what does that mean? Does it matter?
I am not an electrician by any means and I will be having my electrician friend help me with the wiring. I just need to know what parts to order. Any help would be great. Thanks, guys.
