Prime 3″ x 3″ Lighted Toggle Switch 

Prime 3″ x 3″ Lighted Toggle Switch

Heavy-duty 45-amp double pole (DP) switch from Prime, built for high-load circuits like clothes dryers and water heaters that draw more current than a standard light switch can safely handle. The raised white square plate houses a red rocker and a lit neon indicator, so power status is visible at a glance even from across the room.

Features

• 45 Amp Rating — Rated well above standard 15-20A residential switches, matching the higher current draw of dryers, water heaters, and other fixed high-load appliances.
• Double Pole (DP) Switching — Breaks both the live and neutral conductors at once, giving a full isolation point for the appliance rather than switching live only — important when servicing a dryer or heating element.
• Neon Power Indicator — The red indicator lens lights when the circuit is live, so anyone near the switch can confirm power status without testing the wiring.
• Clear ON/OFF Marking — Printed labels above and below the rocker remove any guesswork about switch position.
• 3″ x 3″ Raised Square Plate — Standard footprint for this switch class, fitting the same back box and mounting pattern used across similar dryer and water heater switches.
• Two-Screw Mounting — Straightforward surface or flush mounting with concealed screw caps for a clean finish.

Application Instructions

1. Turn off power at the breaker feeding this circuit before starting any work.
2. Confirm the wires are dead with a voltage tester — this switch is rated for high-load circuits, so treat it as live until verified otherwise.
3. Because it’s a double pole switch, connect both the live and neutral conductors to their marked terminals — check the switch body for “Load” and “Supply” markings so the feed and appliance sides aren’t reversed.
4. Connect the ground wire to the earth terminal.
5. Mount the switch to the back box and secure with the two screws, fitting the concealed screw caps for a finished look.
6. Restore power at the breaker and confirm the neon indicator lights when the switch is in the ON position.
7. For a circuit feeding a dryer or water heater, use a licensed electrician if you’re not fully confident in the wiring — this switch carries current well above a standard light switch.
