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.

Power for a computer how many amps does it take to run a computer monitor and computer?

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.


Will a 7000 starting amps and 10500 running amps run a 78 amp furnace?

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.


What size breaker should you use for a unit that draws 58 running amps?

To determine the correct size breaker, you need to ensure that it is rated higher than the running amps of the unit. For a unit drawing 58 running amps, a breaker that is rated for at least 70 amps would be appropriate to provide a safety margin and prevent tripping due to overload.


What is the running amps of a 45 kW motor?

To determine the running amps of a 45 kW motor, you would need to know the voltage at which it operates. You can use the formula: Amps = (kW x 1000) / (Volts x power factor). Once you have the voltage and power factor information, you can plug them into the formula to calculate the running amps.


How many amps does an 16seer 3 ton condenser use?

A 16 SEER 3-ton condenser typically draws around 15-20 amps during normal operation. However, the exact amperage can vary depending on factors such as the efficiency of the unit and the specific operating conditions.

Are fuse sized for three phase motor two times the nameplate rating?

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.


How many amps does a 4.4 cu ft refrigerator draw?

The amperage drawn by a 4.4 cu ft refrigerator typically ranges from 1 to 2 amps when running, depending on the model and its energy efficiency. However, during startup, refrigerators can draw significantly more current, often around 3 to 5 amps for a brief period. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amperage details of a specific refrigerator model.


What is the difference between full load amps and running load amps?

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.


What size breaker should you use for a unit that draws 58 running amps?

What is the foremula running amps to full load amps?

There is no formula needed, they are the same thing, just two different wordings.


What is Full Load Amps?

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
