20A 2P 120/277V WHT AC SWITCH

20A 2P 120/277V WHT AC SWITCH (Product Description)

A 20-amp, 120/277-volt AC, 2-pole (2P) specification-grade wall switch with a white finish, designed for commercial and industrial electrical control applications.

Product Description

This device is a heavy-duty double-pole toggle switch rated for 20A at 120/277V AC, commonly used in commercial lighting and equipment circuits. The 2-pole (2P) design means it can simultaneously switch two hot conductors, providing complete disconnection of a circuit for added safety and control.

The white thermoplastic body (WHT) makes it suitable for standard commercial wall installations while maintaining a clean, neutral appearance.

Key Specifications

• Amperage: 20A
• Voltage Rating: 120/277V AC
• Poles: 2 (Double-Pole / 2P)
• Color: White (WHT)
• Switch Type: Maintained toggle (ON/OFF)
• Grade: Specification / commercial grade
• Wiring: Back and side wired terminals (typical)
• Grounding: Self-grounding (on most models)

Key Features

• Controls two hot legs simultaneously for full circuit isolation
• Rated for both 120V residential and 277V commercial lighting systems
• Heavy-duty construction for high-cycle commercial use
• Compatible with industrial lighting and motor load applications (within rating)
• Durable thermoplastic housing with long service life

Typical Applications

• Commercial lighting circuits (including 277V ballast lighting)
• HVAC disconnect control (light-duty applications)
• Industrial equipment switching
• Warehouses, offices, and institutional buildings
• Safety isolation of multi-wire branch circuits

Simple explanation

This is a heavy-duty commercial double-pole wall switch that can turn off both hot wires at the same time, commonly used where extra safety or higher-voltage lighting (like 277V) is involved.
