1) What is the difference between 6A and 16A switches?
A 16A switch can handle up to 3840W compared to 1440W for a 6A switch. Use 16A switches for high-power appliances like geysers, ACs, and heaters, while 6A switches are sufficient for lights and fans.
2) Can I use this switch for a 1.5-ton air conditioner?
Yes, a 1.5-ton AC typically draws 10-12A, well within the 16A capacity. However, always check your specific AC's amperage rating on the nameplate and ensure adequate wire sizing.
3) What wire size is required for this 16A switch?
Use 2.5 sq mm (12 AWG) copper wire as the minimum for 16A circuits. For longer cable runs or higher loads, consider 4 sq mm wire. Always comply with local electrical codes.
4) Does this switch get hot during operation?
Under normal operation with proper installation and correct wire sizing, the switch should remain cool or slightly warm. Excessive heating indicates loose connections, overloading, or faulty wiring — consult an electrician immediately.
5) What's the difference between the Plain and With Indicator types?
Both types offer identical 16A switching performance. The Plain type is a standard on/off switch, while the With Indicator type includes a built-in glow light that stays lit whenever the connected appliance is powered on, giving you a quick visual check from across the room.
