Electrical Ratings
Electrical ratings given in the catalog are ratings according to
UL1054, CSA22.55 or IEC61 058 -1.
Where these are not available, a general rating is given based upon in-house laboratory testing.
The ratings tables should be considered as safe working maximums for most applications. However, switch performance is influenced by a variety of factors, including:
- Frequency of operation
- Type of load
- Amount of travel used
- Temperature
- Humidity
Please do not hesitate to contact Saia about your specific application.
