Yes. Provided it meets all the standards of it's DC use a 3 phase switch can and is often used in DC circuits.
But generally no, not if it isn't rated for DC use. DC is much harder to switch or interrupt.
No. An AC switch cannot break the arc that occurs when you try to open the DC circuit. In an AC circuit the switch just handles the arc for a short period of time until the voltage reverses.
A: The inductor is called a RF choke
The word you are looking for is Drum Switch. Google it and there are many diagrams.
yes
because it doesnt

The thyristor is basically used a switch in an AC circuit to control the amount of power fed to the load. To turn on this switch an "electric" pulse should be applied to the Gate terminal of the Thyristor. A circuit which supplies the "electric" pulse is called the firing circuit.
An AC wall switch is in series within the parallel circuit of the overall house wiring.
Yes, the Safe-T-Switch AC device is installed in the HVAC system to prevent water damage by shutting off the system if the condensate drain becomes clogged.
Yes, for charging and diagnostic testing. Never for normal operation, it is a safety circuit.
A:The inductor does not allow ac signal to pass through. It blocks ac and passes dc. If the switch is open, then the ac signal wont pass. If the switch is closed, then the ac signal will pass through the switch.AnswerIt is incorrect to say that an inductor 'does not allow' the passage of an alternating current. An a.c. current will pass through an inductor, although the inductor will limit the value of that current due to the inductor's inductive reactance. Inductive reactance, which is expressed in ohms, is directly-proportional to the inductance of the inductor and to the frequency of the supply. The value of the current is determined by dividing the supply voltage by the inductive reactance of the inductor.If the switch is connected in parallel with the inductor, then closing the switch will apply a direct short circuit across the inductor, and the resulting short-circuit current will cause the circuit's protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) to operate.

A wiring diagram for an AC disconnect typically includes details about the electrical connections, wire sizes, circuit components, and how the disconnect switch is connected to the AC unit.
Oh, dude, the reason they put an AC or DC input coupling push button switch is so you can easily switch between AC and DC input signals without all the hassle of rewiring stuff. It's like having a fancy little button that says, "Hey, I can handle both AC and DC, no big deal." So, next time you're switching between power sources, just hit that button and keep on rockin'.
A: That would be OK ONLY if the switch is to carry 3 amps maximum meaning 120v AC or approximately 40 watts
Alternating (AC) and direct (DC) currents are different forms of electricity. It is universal nowadays to have AC in all houses because the electricity grid distribution system is all AC. DC was used by Edison and continued for some years but is now discontinued. It is still used in vehicles where 12 V DC is the normal system. A light switch simply interrupts the current or makes the circuit as required, and both AC and DC need to have switches.
