Hi folks: Just a quick question about switches: I need a switch that when toggled in one position will operates one appliance, and when toggled in the other position will operates a second, different appliance. Do I need a single pole double throw switch, or a double pole, double throw switch? I'm guessing the latter, but wanted to doublecheck. The SPDT would operate two appliances at the same time then presumably vs a SPST? Just a bit confused here on how these work. Thanks, Troy |
