DPDT stands for double pole double throw, basically its a relay that when energized, by what ever is controlling it, it will have 2 sets of non-connected contacts "make connection" at the same time. You would use one where you have 2 separate systems that you want controlled by the same action. That help?

Installing An Emergency Generator With A DPDT Switch?

Some emergency generators can be installed in a home using a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) transfer switch. A DPDT switch basically prevents the emergency generator from pushing power into the utility grid where it can cause a fire or can injure a utility worker. A home that does not have a DPDT transfer switch will need to use another type of emergency generator that runs independently of the electrical wiring in the home.

Hi All answered in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4782 = Relay Forms = 121 ratings | 4.61 out of 5 | Print DocumentRelays are classified by their number of poles and number of throws. The pole of a relay is the terminal common to every path. Each position that the pole can connect to is called a throw. A relay can be made of n poles and m throws. For example, a single-pole single-throw relay (SPST) has one pole and one throw, as illustrated in the following figure. A single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay has one pole and two throws, as illustrated in the following figure: A double-pole double-throw (DPDT) relay has two poles, each with two simultaneously controlled throws, as illustrated in the following figure: Relays are then classified into forms. Relay forms are categorized by the number of poles and throws as well as the default position of the relay. Three common relay forms are: A, B, and C. Form A Form A relays are SPST with a default state of normally open. Form B Form B relays are SPST with a default state of normally closed. Form C Form C relays are SPDT and break the connection with one throw before making contact with the other (break-before-make).
