Hello, I have attached a screenshot of the datasheet of a relay. I am confused about a term in the datasheet, can someone please explain me what it means?
Does it mean that this relay can work upto 360V?
Thanks

No, VA stands for volt amps. In AC that is sorta like watts but with AC you have to figure in the power factor and "things".
So if using the relay with AC it will handle 360 VA or with DC 90 watts.
Here's a page with a fairly decent explanation http://relays.tycoelectronics.com/ki...icles/reed.asp
