Thanks a lot friendHi Robin,
The current rating is 16A.
(4) signifies that it's suitable for inductive loads.

Thanks a lot dear friendHi Robin,
My earlier interpretation of the current rating was incorrect. I regret the error.
16(4) A signifies that the current rating is 16A for resistive loads and 4A for inductive loads.
Here's an extract from a manufacturer's catalogue.
Below is an example of a typical European rating:
16(4)A 250V ~ T85 µ
In this example the 16 = resistive load amperage; (4) = inductive load amperage; A= amperage; 250V= voltage; ~ = AC; T85= Maximum operating temperature in centigrade; µ = micro-gap (<3mm) approved.

Nandu.
