What is the current rating of this switch at 120VAC ?

Call Air Vent, the distributor of the switch, at 1-800-AIR-VENT (247-8368). They should be able to answer your question. The amazon.com ad says it's for whole house fans, like the attic fan I run with it. That attic fan also has a separate starting capacitor. In almost a year of use, I have had no problems with the switch.

Didn't see any rainting on this switch but wouldn't put more than 15amp load.

I believe this should work for you. If you are using 120 volts, I don't see a problem.

I do not think using HP to compare or rate a switch works very well. The comparison needs to use amperage and voltage ratings for the equipment and switch. This switch has a rating of 16 amps at 120 volts. Use the 16 amp measurement to compare to what ever you want to electrically control.

It's rated at 120 volts. I'm not an authority on electronics, but I wouldn't count on a converter providing satisfactory results./John.

i looked on the instruction booklet and it said 120 volts andshould not exceed 12 amperes. i hope this info helps. it's the only place i see the information. if not, try calling 1-800-3-conair.

It has a 120VAC to 12VDC adapter that is rated at 100MA but I just sold my last unit so I can't run a current check for you.

As far as I can tell it is 120v. But it is a power supply so you could switch it out if it isn't.

The one I have is rated for 120 volts and works well for me (standard USA AC current).

This switch is designed for 240 volt input. It is not adaptable to 120 volt unless you would be OK with only 3 circuits on this 6 circuit switch. Best to get the proper switch.

No I believe it is 120 not switchable unless you purchase a power converter

Max.Switching Voltage: 110VDC 240VAC. Max switching current:15A Min.Switching Current/Voltage:5VDC 100mA Those are your minimum and maximum voltage and currents that it will handle. I have bought 6 of them and they are working great.

I don't remember seeing an amp rating on this switch when I bought it. I was impressed that someone said it was capable of 'switching' at a larger gap than other switches that they had tried---and I've found that to be true--and quite adjustable in that respect. I am feeding it with a 750 DC milliamp transformer and it has not failed my in the last 4 months that it has been in operation.

I also use it at 110 and it is rated at 120 to allow for fluctuations due to alternating current.

Max.Switching Voltage: 110VDC 240VAC. Max switching current:15AMin.Switching Current/Voltage:5VDC 100mAThose are your minimum and maximum voltage and currents that it will handle. I have bought 6 of them and they are working great.

It's max load is 500 watts at 120volts...a little over 4 amps, however the conductor leads are 14 AWG which would be equivalent to a 15 amp household circuit. The max load of the switch should be adhered to.

Their web site says: SWITCH RATING SPECIFICATIONS: 1 H.P. at 125 V.A.C. 50/60 HERTZ 2 H.P. at 250 V.A.C. 50/60 HERTZ 20 Amps 125 V.A.C. 50/60 HERTZ 10 Amps 150 V.A.C. 50/60 HERTZ 10 Amps 277 V.A.C. 50/60 HERTZ 7 Amps 125 V.A.C. Tungsten

I am using this pressure switch on my 220v 60gal compressor, not sure how many amps the motor is rated for though.
