A switches current rating is based on the temperature developed within the switch under service conditions.
Because of arcing and welding at the contacts, most heating (and consequent wear) occurs on making and
breaking the circuit.
Hence, the rate of operation also affects switch life. Ratings are normally based on continuous, steady-state current.
