It's like the small remote-turn-on wire for amps in car stereo systems...even though you have up to 28-volts (capacitors) 120-amps, and thousands of watts, the little wire and switch that turn the amps on when the head-unit is turned on don't carry anywhere near those loads, they only carry roughly <12v @ <5a...
...which, I'm pretty sure, is the same for the switch you (OP) are talking about as well.
