Resistive load Lamp load Inductive load Inductive motor load
125 VAC 10 A 10 A 8 A 8 A
250 VAC 10 A 10 A 8 A 8 A
Note: 1. The non-inductive lamp load has an impulse current ten times the normal current.
2. The inductive load has a power factor of 0.4 minimum (AC).
3. The motor load has an impulse current 6 times the normal current.
The above ratings were tested under the following conditions:
  1. Ambient temperature:20 ±2ºC
  2. Ambient humidity:65% ±5%
  3. Switching frequency:7 times/min
