Default Re: Switch rating.

No contactor involved I suspect.

Two switches in series both of which carry the load current. The actual switching being done by a fully rated switch, whilst the lower rated switch carries the same current but does not normally switch it.

Possibly acceptable, the makers of the switch MIGHT give it a higher rating for infrequent switching of a resistive load.
