Hi all,
Brand new to forum, respectfully asking for some guidance...
I need to toggle 2 wheelchair gearmotors (24vdc, 8A constant, 24A momentary) ON and OFF with microswitches that will be mechanically actuated by radio-control servo arms. My questions:
1. Can I use AC microswitches on a DC application? It seems like practically all the MSs out there are AC and are designed for toggling signals (in the mA range) as opposed to "power-on" applications.
2. Since AC power is typically of high voltage, can I run a switch rated at say 115VAC on 24VDC, but at a higher amperage (24A)?
3. Do I make any sense whatsoever? :roll:
Thanks to anyone willing to shed some light,
Jason
