I explain how I use my multimeter to read the amp draw on a compressor. The guy in my intro that wears the pink shirt and wig is edbassmaster. You can check him out at: www.youtube.com The music was played and composed by Champagne Millionaire. You can check him out at: profile.myspace.com
Good old Bard units
Thanks for the info. I’ll have to check that out.
Do you ever get complaints about light flicker due to compressor inrush current and the resultant voltage sag? This is one of the issues we deal with quite a bit over here. I hear that Rheem is partnering with a company that makes an electronic soft start as a retrofit package to address this issue. Cheers.
Yes. I know 50A seems high, but it’s only that high for less than a second.
So are these typical readings for a working compressor? ~ 50A max on startup and ~ 8.5A run?
Thanks for the video. Great job as usual.
