Folks For the elecrically inclined, a very basic qustion?
How does one convert an AC switch rating to the DC equilivent. For example 125V AC 3-amp relates to 12V DC at what amps?? I know DC ratings are less for a given voltage due to the one way current gradually removing metal from one contact whereas an AC current gives even wear but..... I'm getting a 1/2 volt drop across my ignition switches after about 20 hours that was not present initially and I'm wondering if the above rating is insufficient.
