I see that many suppliers now offer both SP and DP versions of switched
sockets, with DP up to 50% dearer for a given make.
What governs which version one should use?
You can't use a switched one of any variety for supplying a boiler.
I think you mean "may not" rather than "cannot", since my boiler's been
plugged into a switched socket for 21 years to my knowledge, and it works
just fine.
That means you can just unplug your boiler from the socket for electrical
isolation and you do not have to give a give a **** about the socket having
single or double pole switching.
