Inrush current NC 24 A max.
NO 24 A max.

Note: 1. The above values are continuous currents.
           2. Inductive loads have a power factor of 0.4 or higher (AC) or a time constant of 7 ms or lower (DC).
           3. Lamp loads have an inrush current of 10 times the steady-state current.
           4. Motor loads have an inrush current of 6 times the steady-state current.
