PMax 45A DP Switch
The PMax 45A Water Switch provides high-current isolation for heavy-duty electrical appliances. This unit manages loads up to 45 Amps on 250V AC circuits. It features a double pole mechanism for simultaneous disconnection of live and neutral conductors. This ensures maximum safety during appliance maintenance. The integrated neon lamp offers clear visual indication of the power status. It is suitable for both residential and commercial water heating systems. The component facilitates safe operation of high-wattage thermal equipment by preventing circuit overloads. The mechanical design prioritizes durability under high-stress electrical conditions. This model serves as a primary control point for power-intensive installations.
Key Features
-
High Amperage Rating
The 45A capacity supports large-scale water heaters and industrial heating elements without thermal degradation. -
Double Pole Isolation
This mechanism interrupts both the live and neutral lines to ensure total electrical separation from the mains. -
Terminal Architecture
- Accommodates cable sizes up to 10mm² for high-current radial circuits.
- Captive brass terminal screws prevent component loss during installation.
- Deep-well terminal entries ensure secure seating for multi-strand copper conductors.
-
Visual Status Indicator
A built-in neon lamp provides immediate confirmation of the circuit state to the user. -
Material Integrity
- High-impact polycarbonate casing resists heat and mechanical stress.
- Fire-retardant properties prevent combustion in the event of an electrical fault.
- UV-stabilized finish maintains appearance in areas with direct sunlight exposure.

Doing some renovations in Kilimani and needed a heavy-duty double pole switch that doesn’t look cheap on the wall. This PMax unit is quite sturdy and the terminals are well-spaced, making it easy for the fundi to wire properly. It handles the load without heating up at all. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Bought this for my 30L instant heater. The 45A rating gives me peace of mind because the previous 20A one I had kept tripping. The neon light is bright enough to see from the corridor so you don’t leave it on by mistake. Good build quality for the price.
