Can you believe toggle switch rating?
I just got a 1/2" hole mounted toggle switch for my 20Amp 115/220V 1.5
HP motor (switch specs: 20 Amp 115/220V Max 1.5HP) but when this switch compared to a regular light switch with similar specs: 20Amp 115/220V it looks too small and flimsy for it's 20Amp 155V rating. You can hardly conect 12 gauge wire to it's terminals because screws are really small. My question: is switch ratig is a some kind of "peak rating" and you should always get higher rating switch? Thanks, Alex |
