inducer motor

if the inducer motor calls for .7 amps and I only get .5 does this mean it is getting weak

Re: inducer motor

Your fine. The .7 refers to maximum under servers load. Generally you will never get max amps

Re: inducer motor

That is right. .5 amps is a good indication that your machine is in good condition. But if it lowers than .4 I think you need to check it up.

Re: inducer motor

It means it's doing less work than the max it's designed to do. As long as you're confirming draft (pressure switch making and the normal procedures to confirm draft) you should be fine.
