Silly question, of course there are. Hopefully someone will able to give me some insight on a project of mine.
I am directly wiring a volt meter to the battery pack of my 48 volt (DC) golf cart. Though it has minimal electrical draw I would like to be able to turn it off when not in use. My cart has a panel of 4 switches, two of them are used for the 12v headlights and 12v fog lights. There are two unused switches.
My question is how can you tell if the switch is rated to handle 48 volts? I’ve included a couple of photos. Like an idiot I forgot to pop one of the switches out to see if there is anything printed on the side which may indicate rating. However, when I am able to get back to the cart what and where should I look on the switch to see its rating.
OR, can/should I wire the switch to the ground with the hot positive connected directly to the voltmeter?
Thanks for your insight.
Sorry for this bad photo, it is all I have right now of the rear of the panel.
