Are molded case switches horsepower or motor rated?

Issue:
Looking for motor rated molded case switches.

Product Line:
Molded Case Switch

Resolution:
They are not specifically HP rated. Switches are chosen based on the rating of the overcurrent protective device (CB or fuse). The switch must be protected by a circuit breaker or fuse of equal or lesser ampacity, and the short circuit availability of the circuit must not exceed the withstand rating of the switch.
