THAT DOES NOT HELP

Posted by appliance doctor 301 days and 7 hours ago.

Answer

Hi. well the current draw, is the power the compressor is drawing. So if a motor is on with no work to do. it say will draw 2 amps, Put a load on the motor like a compressor, The more of a freon charge, you put in the compressor, the more amp draw you will get. Hope that answers your question The appliance doc
