Default Dolphin Ampmasters

Hello,

Actually Darren you have the meter to test for power consumption, right? Maybe if you don't mind and have the time to clear this thing up since you have the Ampmaster running?

But I agree with your doubts too. The Emerson motor on the Ampmaster is identical to my 1/3 HP on my table saw. Now the table saw motor is about 5 times more powerful but is a 15A motor. So even 15A/5 = 3A. I know things probably does not follow a linear relationship but 3A is quite a bit high compared to what the Ampmaster is rated at and it's identical motor brand and housing and such.
