The answer you are looking for is on the condensing unit tag. It`s listed as FLA or (full load amps) or RLA (running load amps). Start up amps are appx 5 to 6 times this # but this current is only drawn very briefly. Be sure to add both the compressor and fan motor amperage to get total current draw of the unit. The control power is supplied by the indoor unit so that is not a factor.
The power required to run a basic computer will be 1.35 amps for startup and .7 to .9 amps continuous. The power requirements to run an 17" monitor will be 3.5 amps startup and 1.5 amps continuous.
In the electrical trade the only time there is a reference to start and running amps is when dealing with motors. The running amps is always lower than the starting amps. A 78 amp electric furnace will take a 100 amp service for it to operate and be within the electrical code guide lines.
Amps x volts = watts So, assuming you are running on 110 volt line, the answer is 65 watts/110 volts=.591 amps.
I may be wrong, but I think you can calculate it by: Watts = Volts x Amps So: Amps = Watts / Volts Thus, if you're running them on a 240 volt circuit, it resolves to: A = 200 / 240 = 0.83 Amps

Not normally. They are sized slightly above the LRA ( locked rotor amps) or the FLA (full load amps) stated on the motor nameplate. The startup current of a motor can be 125-150% of the running load amperage. This depends on the motor, its EFF (efficiency) and the torque requirement of the load.
Full load amps is the maximum rated amps that the motor should draw according to its nameplate rating. Running load amps is the actual amperage the motor is drawing at that point in time when the test is taken. Some motor loads vary depending on if the load is cyclic. The reading on this type of motor would be from no load amps to full load amps.
There is no formula needed, they are the same thing, just two different wordings.
FLA is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA
Measure the current on the incoming side of the starter.
