I haven't followed the Woodgate approach :), hopefully the information Rich discovered also includes such relevant concerns as:
power factor for general use power factor for inductive/motor loads power factor for pilot duty loads heavy power factor (perhaps as low as 0.10) incandescent There also used to be things called TV rated switches (UL had TV-1 through TV-5, IIRC) Further to the Woodgate approach, if it's not on the internet now, wait a few weeks and try again. Stuff and junk is added daily. This is no magic bullet; there're things I've been searching for for years that haven't shown up yet. Regards, Peter L.
