MWBC disconnect switch

[tom baker]

I am running a MWBC to a garage. What is a recommended 2 pole swiitch?
I recall that not all 2 pole switches are listed for 240 volts.

This is the one I like.

30 Amp, Toggle Double-Pole AC Quiet Switch, 120/277 Volt, Extra Heavy Duty...

Leviton's Industrial Grade AC toggle switches for extra heavy-duty applications represent top-of-the-line quality and peak performance.

Leviton's 20A industrial grade is rated for 277V.
I use P&E, which is also rated higher than 240V.

Use an AC disconnect it's cheap and works good for the purpose. I even use them when it's a 60a run to a building with a main lug panel inside. Over 60a I use a 100 main breaker panel

Only downside to that is its size. Sometimes a simple switch is more convenient to integrate. (Forgive my captain obvious here)

Thanks this switch was in stock at Home Depot and was less than $15.00. Was easy to install in a 4S box that I fed with EMT

That's a good price for those
