20A 2P IV 120/277V A.C. SWITCH (Product Description)
A 20-amp, double-pole (2P), specification-grade AC toggle switch with an ivory (IV) finish, designed for commercial and industrial electrical control applications.
Product Description
This is a 20A, 120/277V AC, 2-pole wall switch used to control or disconnect electrical circuits that require simultaneous switching of two hot conductors. The double-pole (2P) design provides full circuit isolation, making it suitable for higher-voltage or safety-critical applications.
The IV (ivory) color is a standard finish used in commercial installations where a neutral, non-white appearance is preferred.
This switch is commonly used in commercial lighting systems, HVAC control circuits, and industrial equipment circuits operating at either 120V or 277V AC.
