Pick up current refers to the amperage required when energizing an electrical circuit. For example, when turning on an electic motor the amperage drawn while starting could be 5 to 10 times higher than when the motor is running. This is why the lights in your house may dim for a moment when the furnace blower starts, or in your work shop when you start a cicular saw or other large power tool.
