    Help wiring DPST Switch

    I think what it says is that you shouldn't use the neutral alone to turn off a circuit, however if switching the neutral is combined with switching the live then that is ok. In this case a double pole switch would be fine. Also, the original request Is about 12v dc, so the NEC 404.2(b) rule...
