DN70324 — 20A DP Switch for Water Heaters and Medium-Power Applications
The DN70324 is a 20A Double Pole switch with neon indication of its operation, found in the DN70 line. This switch is perfectly suitable for use in applications where power levels required do not exceed medium levels, such as water heaters, immersions heaters, electric heaters and appliances with a similar load – in residential and commercial installations made in compliance with British standards. The double pole switching mechanism allows disconnecting both live and neutral conductors at the same time, thus ensuring the required level of safety for circuit using water, such as bathroom heater and household kitchen devices. The device has a neon indicating light which allows to monitor if power is supplied to the circuit without any other means.

Our engineering specialists are also able to change internal parts as per market demand. Please get in touch with us for wholesale inquiries.
DP Switch Technology — Essential Safety for Water‑Connected Appliances
The DP switch mechanism is an important safety device for electric appliances with an associated water supply. It differs from an SP switch in that the former breaks off both the live and neutral wires at the same time, giving effective separation between the appliance and the electricity supply. For this reason, it is particularly suitable for safety appliances being used with water, such as water heaters and electric showers. The contact point made of silver alloy Φ3.0×25mm allows for low contact resistance and little heating even under long applications of 20A loads. The construction of red copper guarantees good electrical conductivity and high durability.
Durable Construction — Engineered for Continuous Medium‑Load Operation
The DN70324 is designed for challenging domestic and light commercial applications. The switch system employs premium red copper component and a Φ3.0×25mm silver alloy contact point, specifically designed to handle 20A continuous load. This combination of material ensures low contact resistance, minimal arcing, and consistent performance over many switching cycles. With a rated electrical life specified for over 10,000 operations, the DN70324 can be safely employed for daily use in homes and businesses.

Why Choose a 20A DP Switch for Water Heaters and Medium‑Power Appliances?
A practical guide for importers, distributors, and contractors supplying residential projects in British standard countries.
20A Capacity — The Right Rating for Residential Water Heaters
Electric water heater companies or immersion heater companies need a voltage source that requires the heating appliance to have its own dedicated circuit of 20A. In the area of operation, the DN70324 gives the necessary capacity to power units of this type and provides a margin for safe operation. The need for 20A double pole switches has practically become a standard in the industry.
DP (Double Pole) — Safety for Water‑Connected Appliances
A double pole switch cuts both live and neutral wires together, ensuring full isolation of the device from the power grid. This is crucial for water heaters and immersion heaters, which are often used in bathrooms and kitchens where water splashes might occur. Many national regulations require DP switches to be used in wet areas to provide safe operation of various devices in these types of environments. The DP design of the DN70324 complies with this requirement.
Neon Indicator — Practical Safety for Maintenance
The built‑in neon indicator provides instant visual confirmation of switch status — illuminated when the switch is ON and the circuit is live. For water heaters and immersion heaters, this allows homeowners and maintenance staff to quickly verify circuit status before performing maintenance or servicing. This small feature delivers significant operational safety benefits and is a key differentiator in the residential market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What appliances require a 20A DP switch?
Usually, 20A DP switches are needed for water heaters, immersion heaters, electric heaters, and other appliances which have an electrical power rating of below five kilowatts. The DN70324 switch is intended for such types of work and has a specification of 20A/250V.
What is the difference between 20A and 45A DP switches?
The 20A DN70324 has been designed for average power applications for residential use for appliances such as boilers and immersion heaters (approximately ~ 5kW). The 45A DN70327 is suited for high power industrial applications for appliances such as heavy duty air conditioners or commercial ovens or industrial devices (approximately ~ 11kW). Use 20A in the case of normal residential water heaters and 45A if it is heavy-duty commercial loads.
Can I order the DN70324 with my own logo on the panel?
Absolutely true. Our company provides complete OEM branding services, allowing you to engrave your brand logo using laser etching or silk-screening techniques on any panel material, including polycarbonate, glass, or aluminum.
