why there is a humming noise in transformer

Answer Posted / nilkanth tailor

Basically, we used ferromagentic material in core...when
magnetic flux linked with thid core..thier is some
physically expand and contract slightly with each cycle of
the magnetic field...and that effect known as
magnetostriction..(Magnetostriction is a property of
ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their
shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization...
it was first identified in 1842 by James Joule when
observing a sample of nickel)...due to this effect causes
fluctuating forces between the primary and secondary
windings. These incite vibrations within nearby metalwork,
adding to the humming noise, and consuming a small amount
of power.

I just purchased a 4 position cam switch to be used to operate a 3-speed blower motor. The motor is a 10 amp motor and has 3 wires that are used to control speed. The cam switch was rated at 660V 20 amps but when I received it, I noticed that it has AC-15 operational current rating (Ie) of 4/5 amps. If I am reading the label correctly. the 4/5 amps is related to 440v/220V (Ue). Other ratings are AC-3: 5.5A, AC2: 7.5A and AC-4: 1.5A. My questions are 1) Is it safe to use this switch with the motor I have 2) what is the difference between the 20 amp Ith ratting and the Ie operational ratings?
