AT FIRST WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS A DIODE?SIMPLE.. CONSISTS OF TWO TYPE OF SEMICONDUCTOR 1)n-TYPE &2)P-TYPE COMBINED TOGETHER.NOW FOR A ORDINARY DIODE THE DOPING LEVEL IS LOWER THAN THAT OF ZENER DIODE. AS A RESULT AT THE REVERSE BIAS CONDITION AFTER APPLYING A CERTAIN VOLTAGE THE DIODE COMES TO THE BREAKDOWN REGION AND BLOWS UP .BUT FOR A ZENER DIODE IS ACTUALLY WORKS IN THIS BREAKDOWN REGION(AS IT IS DESIG TO DO SO!!!) AS A RESULT IT RUNS EVEN AFTER APPLYING HIGH REVERSE BIAS VOLTAGE.
ANOTHER POINT THAT IT IS ACT LIKE A VOLTAGE REGULATOR.AND THE O-DIODE IS ACT AS A RECTIFIER.ALLTHE BEST.:-)

sir i used 3 hp of motor for spraying pump, other home light and other home items which size of allminium pvc wire ix used
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?
