The terms pole and throw are also used to describe switch contact variations. The number of "poles" is the number of separate circuits which are controlled by a switch. For example, a "2-pole" switch has two separate identical sets of contacts controlled by the same knob. The number of "throws" is the number of separate positions that the switch can adopt. A single-throw switch has one pair of contacts that can either be closed or open. A double-throw switch has a contact that can be connected to either of two other contacts, a triple-throw has a contact which can be connected to one of three other contacts, etc

When a circuit connection's targetComponent is an ElectricalPanel, this describes which side of a the panel's main breaker (if present) that the interconnection is made (supply or load side)?This is a very important consideration, as the NEC dictates the maximum allowable interconnected current, and it is very different for each side of the OCPD. For example, when tied to the load side of a panel's bus, the total of all circuits amperage can sum to 120% of the bus's current rating when using a backfed breaker. If tied to the supply side, the allowable PV circuit amperage can go up to the maximum rated amperage of the bus (as the main breaker protects the load side). Note that this also differs between residential and commercial systems. Most residential systems are interconnected on the load side. Conversely, most commercial systems are interconnected on the supply side because NEC 690 currently has no 120% rule on commercial load side tie-in (significantly limiting possible size), and also commercial system equipment is more likely to have connections available on the supply side (e.g. lugs).
