Note: 1. The above values are for steady-state current.
            2. Inductive load has a power factor of 0.4 min. (AC) and a time constant of 7 ms max. (DC).
            3. Lamp load has an inrush current of 10 times the steady-state current.
            4. Motor load has an inrush current of 6 times the steady-state current.
            5. The ratings values apply under the following test conditions:
                 (1) Ambient temperature: 20±2°C
                 (2) Ambient humidity: 65±5%RH
                 (3) Operating frequency: 20 operations/min
