    .

    The pole is the switch so a

    single pole is one switch, that would be the live
    double pole is two switches, that would be live and neutral
    three pole is basic 3 switches, that would be basic three phase
    four pole is 4 switches , that would be three phase and neutral.

    All switched with the same knob, lever, hadle or what ever its called.

    Hope that helps

    inverters recommend not using a pole for switching the neutral- it should be on a terminal block
