Amperage (energy) required to make starter turn fast enough to start vehicle usually not more than 250 amps

Can a semi truck crank the engine when bettery bellow 12 volt?

Yes, so long as it has the amperage to do so.


Can a low battery cause starter not to engage?

Yes. Without sufficient charge, the starter will not have enough amperage to crank.


What is the Horsepower rating for starter motor?

To determine this you will have to measure the amperage the starter draws when you crank the engine. This amperage times the voltage (12 volts) will give you the wattage. There are 746 watts to 1 HP.


What would power draw be from a new battery when you go to crank the engine?

The amperage required to turn over or crank most automobile engines is between 70 and 140 amperes. At 12 volts this works out to be 840 watts to 1680 watts of power for a few seconds from the battery.


What crank amperage should a battery have in a 93 Cadillac deville?

I would buy at least a 600 CCA battery. Buy the largest CCA battery you can find if you live in a cold climate.


What are cracking amps?

"Cranking Amps" are the amount of amps required for the starter to crank the engine. Automobile batteries are measured in "cold cranking amps." That's the amperage capacity of the battery in cold weather.


What is amperage?

Amperage is electric current of flow.


What is the amperage of a t2l 250v fuse?

The amperage of a T2L 250v fuse is typically 8 amps. It is a misconception that it has an amperage of 3.


What is the reason for starter motor burning?

When A Starter Burns Up, It Is Because Of Low Voltage While Trying To Crank The Engine. When Voltage Drops...Amperage Goes Up And Usually Melts The Copper Winding In The Starter Or Armature.


If my AC technician says my unit is rated at 28.9 amps and drawing 24.8 and should draw about half of rated capacity and that compressor needs to be replaced Is this correct?

There are several amperage ratings on AC compressors/motors. Locked Motor Amperage (LRA) is the amperage that the motor is fused for. The load of the motor is expressed in amperage or wattage, which is probably the case here. Low amperage readings on an AC unit being charged by amperage load would indicate low freon. High amperage readings indicate overcharge when charging by the amperage load. AC units are not accurately charged by amperage readings and the efficiency of motors is not expressed in amperage readings.


It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?

When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?

This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.
