[QUOTE="kme, post: 12735, member: 113"] Okay,..................... Here goes: I`m going to stick my neck out here. IF the range is capable of drawing 16K (ignoring, for a mo, the fact that a standard domestic supply is 15K fused!) ; The switch MUST be capable of breaking the rated current of the circuit, AND the circuit must not be designed to have long-term overloads applied. Therefore, if I were doing this job.................... I`d have a contactor supplying the range. Then, I could use a 5A wall switch if I wanted to. Load at the switch is minimal. Where`s the problem? [/QUOTE]
