Why are switches being rated at different amps ?

I see lots of them on ebay rated for 10 maps at 240 volts and 20 amps at
120 volts.

Looks to me they should have the same amp rating at all voltages. The
do not specify any kind of load like something that would draw a larger
current at startup with a higher voltage.


It's because of the arc ratings on switching to off.
