Re: [AMC-list] Rambler mentality

Ken,

I'm sorry, but this is a bad situation for Rambler mentality.  That switch 
is probably rated for 15A @ 110VAC.  It's DC amperage rating is probably 
much lower.  In fact, most light switches are not designed for DC at all. 
DC tends to arc across the contacts much easier than AC.  How many amps is 
your tester rated for?  I bet it's way more than 15.  100?  200?  Go find a 
switch with the proper DC amperage rating for this application.

Thanks,

Todd
