IF the manufacturer did not list a rating on the switch for DC then the switch is not approved for the use on DC. Switches rated for AC will not last long used on DC because they do not have the ability to exstinguish the arc across the contacts present with DC.

No, 15 amps is a measurement of electric current while 250 volts is a measurement of electrical potential difference or voltage. They are two different electrical properties and cannot be directly compared in the way you are asking.
A good analogy is to think of amps as water flow and volts as water pressure.
Pressure and flow are not equal but the more pressure the more flow you will get.
To find the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts/Volts. Plugging in the values, you get Amps = 1800 Watts / 110 Volts ≈ 16.36 Amps.
The terminal strip's rating is 15 amps at 600 volts. It does not matter what the voltage is up to 600 volts, the maximum amperage allowed on the strip is 15 amps. It could be 15 amps at 12 volts or 15 amps at 600 volts or any voltage in between.
To convert 15 amps at 415 volts to kilowatts, use the formula: kW = (amps x volts) / 1000. So, kW = (15 A x 415 V) / 1000 = 6.225 kW.
Applying the formula P (Power in watts) = V (Voltage in volts) * I (Current in amps), if the current is 15 amps, then the power consumption would be 115 volts * 15 amps = 1725 watts.
To convert watts to amps, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V, 1500 watts would be equivalent to 12.5 amps (1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps).
