Eaton 30A Lighted Toggle Switch

Eaton 30A Lighted Toggle Switch

Double pole toggle switch from Prime with a built-in pilot light, rated for 30-amp circuits — the illuminated red toggle glows when the switch is on, giving a clear visual check on power status for equipment that isn’t always in sight.

Features

• Double Pole (DP) Switching — Breaks both hot legs of a 240V circuit or two separate 120V loads at once, giving a complete disconnect rather than switching a single leg.
• Pilot Light Toggle — The translucent red toggle illuminates when the switch is on, so status is visible at a glance without opening a panel or tracing wiring.
• 30 Amp Rating — Rated for higher-draw circuits than standard 15-20A switches, suited to equipment and appliance loads that exceed typical lighting circuits.
• 120/277 Volt AC Compatibility — Rated for both standard 120V circuits and 277V commercial circuits, covering both residential and commercial applications.
• Thermoplastic Body with Polycarbonate Toggle — Impact-resistant construction holds up to repeated switching in demanding environments.
• Side-Wire Screw Terminals — Two sets of brass terminals accommodate the double pole wiring, accepting standard residential and commercial wiring methods.

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.
3. Because it’s a double pole switch, connect both hot legs (or both circuit conductors) to their marked terminals — bring the incoming supply wires to one set of brass terminals and the load wires to the other.
4. Tighten all screw terminals firmly — a loose terminal on a 30A circuit is a real heat and fire risk.
5. Secure the switch into the electrical box or panel opening using the mounting strap.
6. Restore power at the breaker and confirm the pilot light illuminates when the switch is in the ON position.
7. For circuits feeding equipment or appliances you’re not fully confident wiring, use a licensed electrician — this switch carries current well above a standard light switch.
