why electric shock due to dc is dangerous than that of ac

Answer Posted / piyush rana

In Ac, due to sine wave, the voltage wave is coming to zero
at some instant during this time there is chance to get
released from the sock, but in DC the waveform is straight
& not coming to zero at any instant, So there is no any
chance to get released from the sock.

I just purchased a 4 position cam switch to be used to operate a 3-speed blower motor. The motor is a 10 amp motor and has 3 wires that are used to control speed. The cam switch was rated at 660V 20 amps but when I received it, I noticed that it has AC-15 operational current rating (Ie) of 4/5 amps. If I am reading the label correctly. the 4/5 amps is related to 440v/220V (Ue). Other ratings are AC-3: 5.5A, AC2: 7.5A and AC-4: 1.5A. My questions are 1) Is it safe to use this switch with the motor I have 2) what is the difference between the 20 amp Ith ratting and the Ie operational ratings?
