DPST 3 Position (Play-Stdby-Off) wiring Question

Post by wattsup »

I am wondering if I got a Carling DPST, Toggle, 3 Position, (Play-Stdby-Off), would it be wired like this? If not, what would be correct?

I assume you are talking about this particular switch.

Yes I believe that's the same one. http://www.tubesandmore.com/products/P-H520

That wires a lot differently than I had thought. Thanks ToneMerc!

YW and yes it appears to be. The several I have used came from TD, but I'm sure it's the same switch.

Or would I want the PT and 110v flopped? Or does it matter?

Sorry to be the odd man out, but why do you want a standby? It isn't needed. Just switch the mains on and off. Simple. Takes care of everything in one flick.
