My mate is building a home brewery, with two 240v pumps which he wants to control from a double gang splashproof lightswitch, fed from a 3 pin plug via a RCD. He’s asked me, which is not the best idea tbh.
The pumps just have 3 core mains cable. Question is, does the neutral have to be switched, or just the live? With the neutrals and earths connected separately. If he wires it like my diagram, will he die? The lightswitch doesn’t have COM, L1, L2 legends as I was expecting…
Edit – pics aren’t showing, will try to fix
