Default RE: Starters - High Voltage

Great tip on the switch John. Too many people (even engineers) make the mistake of looking at the AC ratings of a switch and assuming that the same rating applies to DC applications. Often, only the AC ratings are given which make it difficult to know how much to derate the switch for DC use. A tractor switch would be a very heavy duty application.
