I am trying to utilize a float switch to turn a pump on and off. The float switch is rated for 50VA/115V (0.435 amps). The motor is 1.4A at 115V. Obviously that is higher than what the float switch is spec'd for. Would there be any foreseeable NEC issue with just having the float switch power on a relay or contactor within its specs, and then have the relay itself toggle the motor?
