Why Choose the CHINT SM1146 45A Double Pole Switch with Neon?

The CHINT SM1146 is a robust 45 A double pole switch with neon indicator designed for reliable switching and isolation of high-current fixed electrical loads. As part of the CHINT Shield SM Series, it combines heavy-duty switching with premium grade steel metal clad construction for demanding domestic, commercial and light-industrial electrical installations.

The SM1146 uses double pole switching, allowing both live and neutral conductors to be switched simultaneously. An integrated neon indicator provides a clear visual indication, while the metal clad construction makes the accessory particularly suitable for locations where a robust wiring solution is required.

With a rated current of 45 A and a vertical plate configuration, the SM1146 provides a practical local switching and isolation point for suitable high-current equipment. It forms part of CHINT's coordinated SM Series of metal clad switches, sockets, fused spurs and installation accessories.
