Maximum current for which an electrical device is designed and which a switch or relay can reliably switch if the load is purely resistive, i.e. has no inductive or capacitive component. Example: A relay has a switching current capacity of 10 amperes at 250 volts AC for ohmic loads. This means that the relay can safely switch 10 amperes at a voltage of 250 volts AC if the load is purely resistive.
