Please help me identify this relay switch (pic inside)

Hi,

I yanked this power relay out of an old dish washer with the intention of using with my waterpump in my computer.

Anyway, it doesn't seem to switch at 12v so I'm presuming it needs something higher. Here's a pic:

There are specs written on the top:

REP 200

AC 230V 50 Hz
16A 250V AC


16Acos ℓ 1 250VAC
5Acos ℓ 0.4 250VAC


So what does that mean? What voltage does it switch at?

Any input welcome! ;)
 
I'm no electic expert but It says it's for 230 volts AC @ 50 hertz so I'll bet it's activation voltage is pretty close to that..
