Most electrical switches even if designed and built correctly have a small amount of resistance to current flow.The upshot of this is that power is lost in the switch when current flows, ( from Ohm's Law: W=I x I x R, where W = watts, I = Amps , R = Ohms) In conclusion, where current flows through a resistance ( in this case the switch ) power is lost in the form of heat. Generally a 20A switch would be 'warm' to the touch, if it is 'hot' then this may indicate that the switch has a fault, for example a loose joint/connection or deteriorated contacts.

A 1-amp adaptor can not be used for equipment that draws more than 1 amp. It is not clear from the question which part of your system is 12 v and which is 20 v.
No longer than 46 feet. Longer than that switch to #12 on a 20 amp breaker.
1 amp.
what makes a electric motor get very hot and then shutoff after 20 seconds
A 20 hp piston motor compressor at 208/230v appx. 50 amp running, and 100 amp locked rotor current, requiring 70 amp heaters. A rotary screw will demand apprx. 20% greater locked rotor, but about the same running, and perhaps 80 amp heaters. Halve most all for 460/480v. A 12 - 15kva generator should suffice. If the budget will sustain, go for a 25kva.
The maximum amperage rating of the 20 amp switch is 20 amps.
What is a 20 amp female transfer switch? I have never heard of such a device.
A 20 Amp single pole switch is needed when the circuit requires higher amperage capacity to safely control the load. Using a 15 Amp switch on a circuit that requires 20 Amps could lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. Always match the switch's amperage rating with the circuit's requirements for safety and proper functionality.
no
You would need a 20 amp switch when the load controlled by the switch can draw as much as 20 amps. If you have a 20 Amp breaker supplying the circuit then you need to size all switches and outlets on that circuit to 20 amps.
increase the amperage of the switch. if it is a 15 amp switch, change it to a 20 amp switch. you also can reduce the load on the switch, which will relieve the heating. in either case, do it NOW, that switch can start a fire at any time. be prepared to pay 5 to7.00 for a 20 amp switch.

To change a 20 amp breaker in a circuit breaker panel, first turn off the main power switch. Remove the panel cover and locate the 20 amp breaker. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws holding the wires to the breaker and disconnect them. Remove the old breaker and replace it with the new 20 amp breaker. Reconnect the wires and tighten the screws. Finally, replace the panel cover and turn the main power switch back on.
A 20 amp disconnect switch is used to safely disconnect power from an electrical system. It is designed to handle up to 20 amps of current and is used to isolate the electrical system for maintenance or in case of emergencies. The switch allows for easy and quick disconnection of power to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of personnel working on the system.
