Hi all
This may sound like a stupid question, probably is, but I'm a little cunfused![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
A relay is rated:
So what I'm confused about is, if its rated for 16A 250VAC, that equates to 16x250 = 4000W, they refer to it as 4000VA / 480W? Isn't 480W @ 250V = 1.92A?
I need a relay to which a 800W 220V inductive load (metal Halide Light), so this won't work?

A relay is rated:
Contact rating (resistive) = 16A 250VAC / 30VDC
(inductive)= 8A 250VAC / 30VDC
Max Switching Voltage = 250VAC / 30VDC
Max Switching current = 16A
Max Switch Power = 4000VA / 480W
