In other words its like two simple switches controlled by a single actuator. A double pole double throw dpdt switch is a switch that has 2 inputs and 4 outputs.
The dpst switch often appears in circuit breakers where it is used for 240 volt circuits with each pole carrying 120 volts separately. With 2 inputs it can connect to 4 different outputs. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes and the knack and signal contacts amid the devices. Do not connect or service any electrical device while power is being supplied from the power source. Electrical device motor 3 inch wires 2 warning.
