#146818 - voltage rating
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Rangu,

Do not do this. The current is not important. 415 Volt is much to high for a 230 Volt specified switch. There always is a safety margin, but this is far out of reach !!!

What may happen is that suddenly the isulation starts to conduct so a current start to flow and heats up the material to extreem temparatures. You can compare it with lightning on a small scale.

The result can be , FIRE!!!!!!

Don't do this please, it can kill people !!
