Leviton 1282 Dpdt Ac Toggle Switch 15A 277V Brown

Product Description

The LEVITON 1282 is a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) AC toggle switch rated for 15 amps at 277 volts. Designed for use in commercial and industrial electrical systems, it controls single-phase AC loads where two separate circuits must be switched simultaneously from a single actuator. The brown finish suits standard commercial wiring device installations. Licensed electricians install this switch in panel rooms, mechanical rooms, lighting control applications, and other locations where high-voltage AC switching is required in a compact toggle-style device.

This switch is suited for commercial lighting circuits, motor control applications, and general AC load switching at 277 volts — a common voltage found in commercial fluorescent and LED lighting branch circuits. The DPDT configuration makes it appropriate for applications requiring transfer switching or simultaneous control of two independent circuits. It is typically installed in commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial facilities where 277-volt single-phase branch circuits are standard.

Key Features

• Double-pole double-throw (DPDT) configuration for simultaneous two-circuit control
• Rated 15 amps at 277 volts AC for commercial and industrial load switching
• Brown finish for compatibility with standard commercial device plates
• Toggle-style actuator for straightforward manual operation
• Compact form factor suitable for standard electrical box installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install DPDT AC toggle switch for 277-volt commercial branch circuit applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before handling any wiring connections. Ensure the electrical box and cover plate are rated for the voltage and current of the circuit. Do not use this device on DC circuits or circuits exceeding its nameplate ratings.
