I have a relay which is labed to be able to switch 120vac @ 1A. Will i
still be limited to 1 amp if i'm only switching 30vac?
Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on whether the current rating is
based on the continuous rating of the contacts (current) or on the
ability of the contacts to handle the flash when the current is
interrupted. I have seen both cases.
