What is ampere switch?
The amp rating of a Carling switch is the maximum current in amperes the switch will carry continuously. So, in the example below the maximum amp rating for this switch at 250 volts AC (VAC) is 10 amps; the maximum amp rating at 125 volts AC for the same switch is 15 amps.
What is voltage and ampere rating?
The volt-ampere is dimensionally equivalent to the watt (in SI units, 1 V⋅A = 1 W). VA rating is most useful in rating wires and switches (and other power handling equipment) for inductive loads….

What does 500va mean?
What does 500va mean? It is simply the product of volts times amps giving a value of volt-amps, VA, as the answer. Example: You have a transformer that supplies a voltage of 100 volts AC and is capable of supplying a current up to a maximum of 5 amps.
Can you use a 110v switch for 12V?
That’s a no-no. Break the Positive wire across the light switch and return the Negative wire to the negative side of the 12V source. Most modern dimmer switches don’t work on 12V.
