Default How do I know if I need a new switch for 240v?

Well I was trying to be practical . . . not what if . . ing last time I
checked the average home did not have a 10KV line running to it . . . .

No, you need to take both into account.

If you take a 10V 100A switch and use it on a 10KV 1A line, you're going
to have issues.
