Interestingly, the units nameplate says "7-amps" @ 240-volts".
I put a meter on the main and the current dropped 6 amps when the unit was turned off.
The branch breaker feeding the unit did the same thing.
My question is...
Is this thing actually consuming 1440 watts, or am I measuring 6 amps of capacitive current from the unit charging and discharging back into the line?
If so, what is the net consumption of the unit, if anything at all?
Thanks,
John
