Dolphin Ampmasters
Hey Jim,
I haven't taken the plate off to measure the current draw. Brand new and all. Plus it is hooked up on my system now and isn't very accessable. Well it could be. Just a bit nervous about taking it apart.
What I am curious about is how there will be such a difference measuring from the wall inline with my meter to what the manufacturer gets off of the pole. My pump has been going for 24 hours now and hasn't tripped due to overload yet I still get 2.2 Amps.
Tho I do have an idea where some of it may be coming from. Dolphin has equipped the pump with a 14Ga wire if I remember right. My break out box is wired with 18Ga. Will that .61mm diameter make THAT much of a difference? I have some 12Ga laying around. I am going to make up a break out with that and see what happens. I don't see it taking away 1 amp but will try. The longest length of 18 GA I had in the break out was 5 cm. :confused:
I want to understand where the diff's are coming from. grrr..
