How do electricians check current flow in a circuit?
For AC circuits, amperage is checked with a clamp on amp meter. There is now in the market place a clamp on amp meter that will work on both AC and DC circuits.
What volts are common to central AC?
In the US, most home central AC units operate on a 240V/30-Amp circuit. However, it is always important to check the unit's nameplate to determine what exact voltage and amperage of fuses that should be used.
How do you check amp draw?
Amperage is measured by a multimeter. First determine the amperage rating on the multimeter. Next, select the appropriate setting on the tool. The next step is to set the range on the multimeter. Make sure to plug the leads into the appropriate terminals. Run the circuit through the multimeter to measure the current. Turn off the breaker, make sure the AC circuit is turned off, then rewire the circuit.
What is the current in an ac circuit with 120-volts and a 60 -watt light bulb?
Current or amperage, is wattage divided by voltage. 60 / 120 = .5 amp.

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.
Open circuit prevents the movement of what?
amperage
How do you pick the right fusible link?
Fuses are based upon the size of the wire of the circuit that it is to protect. The wire is sized by the amperage of the connected amperage load of the circuit.
If the resistance changes in a circuit the amperage will also change?
I=V/R The smaller the resistance the greater the amperage.
Why increase the amperige in the electrical circuit of a tractor?
why increase the amperage in the electrical circuit of a tractor
Formula for finding power in a DC circuit?
multiply the total voltage in the circuit by the total amperage
