Scanford Elegance 45A DP Switch
The Scanford Elegance 45A Switch provides a high-capacity power control solution for residential and commercial water heating systems. This double-pole unit isolates both live and neutral lines for enhanced safety during maintenance or fault conditions. The internal mechanism ensures a positive electrical break to prevent arcing under load. High-grade materials provide durability and long-term reliability in high-current applications.
Key Features
-
High Amperage Rating
The 45A capacity supports heavy-duty heating elements without excessive thermal buildup. -
Double Pole Isolation
- Simultaneous disconnection of live and neutral conductors.
- Enhanced safety for high-voltage appliance servicing.
-
Integrated Neon Indicator
A low-energy glow lamp provides immediate visual confirmation of the circuit status. -
Advanced Terminal Design
- Angled cable entries facilitate easier installation in tight back boxes.
- Large apertures accommodate 6mm² or 10mm² copper conductors.
The Elegance series prioritizes electrical integrity and installer efficiency. This SW-SCEDP45S model utilizes high-grade urea or polycarbonate materials. These components resist tracking and provide flame retardancy. Internal silver-nickel alloy contacts minimize electrical resistance. This design reduces heat generation during prolonged operation. The switch manages 45 Amps at standard 250 Volts. This rating suits most domestic and light industrial water heating units.
The mechanical toggle requires a deliberate force to change states. This prevents accidental power cycles during routine activities. The switch plate fits standard 1-gang deep back boxes. A minimum box depth of 47mm allows sufficient space for cable management. The unit includes matching screw covers to hide the mounting hardware. This results in a clean appearance for professional environments. Additionally, the switch undergoes rigorous testing for mechanical endurance and thermal stress. This ensures the housing maintains structural integrity under maximum load conditions.
The SW-SCEDP45S adheres to BS EN 60669-1 standards. These regulations dictate the safety of switches for household installations. Each carton contains 100 individual units for large-scale procurement. The terminal screws utilize a deep-head design to prevent screwdriver slippage. This allows for high-torque tightening to ensure secure wire connections. The white finish matches standard electrical accessories in modern architectural projects.

Good quality switch. It feels sturdy when switching on and off. Delivery to South B was fast. Only wish the neon indicator light was a bit brighter during the day, but overall a solid product for the price.

Installed this for my instant shower and it’s working perfectly. The finish is very clean and doesn’t look cheap like the generic ones. Handling the 45A load without any heating issues so far.
