Why Choose the CHINT SM1145 45A Double Pole Switch?
The CHINT SM1145 is a robust 45 A double pole switch designed for reliable isolation and control of high-current fixed electrical loads. As part of the CHINT Shield SM Series, it features a durable metal clad construction manufactured from premium grade steel, making it particularly suitable for demanding domestic, commercial and light-industrial installations.
The SM1145 uses double pole switching, enabling both live and neutral conductors to be switched simultaneously for effective local isolation of suitable electrical equipment. Its high 45 A rating makes it suitable for high-load fixed appliances and circuits where a robust dedicated switch is required.
Designed on a vertical plate, the SM1145 provides a practical metal clad switching solution for installations where durability and straightforward local isolation are important. The standard SM1145 is supplied without a neon indicator, with the SM1146 available within the same series where a neon-equipped version is required.
