Re: S700-2-10 switch
What is the current rating for this switch?
|
The S700 series switches are Carling G-series devices.
The data sheet for this line of products may be reviewed
at:
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Mfgr_Data/Switches/Carling_G-series.pdf
Note that these are rated at up to 20A in 120VAC systems.
In the article at:
http://aeroelectric.com/articles/Switch_Ratings.pdf
we explore the simple ideas behind current ratings
and service life of switches as installed in various
working environments.
| Quote: | I would like to use this switch to turn on rotating beacons (12 amps) and
strobe lights (11 amps) using the circuit in figure 11-18 (page 11-19) in
the 11th edition of your book. The B&C catalog lists the rating as '15VAC
maximum'. How does this rating apply to a 14 volt system?
My application would run 23 amps through the switch. Will the switch
handle this load?

Yes, you'll probably get a satisfactory service life
using the S700-2-10 for this application. But I'm curious
as to where you got these current values. I'm also curious
as to why you have a combination of strobes and rotating
beacons on the same airplane.
