Carla said. “If your meter reads a steady 50 A while running, that’s bad—the rotor is partly locked. If it reads 58 A for a split second and then drops to 11 A, that’s normal start-up.”
LRA = 58 A Motor type: Single-phase AC compressor Output: Approximate RLA = 58 ÷ 5.3 ≈ 10.9 A (round to 11 A) lra to amps calculator
Carla said, wiping sweat from her brow, “LRA means Locked Rotor Amps. That’s the sudden surge of current the motor draws the instant it tries to start, but the rotor is stuck. RLA is Running Load Amps—what it uses once it’s spinning freely.” Carla said
Sam asked.
