Can a 240 Volt switch rated at 10 amps handle 30 amps at 12 Volts?

no
a 240V switch rated at 30amps may work ok
but could be a problem with a motor or coil if the switch is not dc rated
chances are the 240V switch opens far enough to break a 30 amp arc, even if its not fast enough

Can you use a We Mo light switch on 240v?
The conscience is no. There is a work about by using an intermediary relay coil rated at 120 volts to switch the 240 volt feeder line.
Is sj cord rated for 300 volts to be used for 480 volt?
No. The voltage rating needs to be 600 volts for 480 volt power.
Can you use a 115 volt air conditioner into 110 volt?
Yes the 115 volts you read is just the maximum it will handle.
Can you use 265 volt appliance on a 220 volt line?
Yes, the 265 volts is just the maximum the appliance can handle. You can use it on a 240 volt circuit.
What is the difference in 30 amp 250 volt and 30 amp 600 volt?
Devices are rated by voltage and amperage. If you have a source rated for 600 volts you can use a 250 volt device, but not vice versa.
Why am I only getting 1.5 volts max to the rear window defogger when I should be getting 6 volts I have 12 volts going into the def. switch and 6 volts leaving the switch.?
lol. 12v in, only 6 out. looks like your switch is eating 6 volts. Get that out of there. then the other volt drops should come into check. You should only have a .5v total volt drop in the whole circuit; after that problems start to pop up.
Can you use a 130 volt light bulb in a 120 volt socket?
Yes, the 130 volts you read on the bulb is just the maximum it will handle. It will work perfectly in a 120 volt circuit.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
Can a 125 volt cable power a 120 volt piece of equipment?
The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.
Volts are measured in?
A volt is a volt is a volt.
Measure in volts?

Differences between 115 volt and 120 volt?
These are different ways of measuring voltages. In the united states, people often refer to the standard household electricity as "110 volt", because that is close to the average voltage over time that the sine wave will be at. 115 is was MOST electric companies actually produce, on average, and 120 volt is the RMS measurement of that voltage. The peak voltage at the top and bottom of the sine wave will usually be close to 125 volts. For more information, please google for how AC works.
