AllTrained: Checking Blower Motor Amp Draw

Описание: In this AllTrained episode, Jon from AllTech Services teaches you how to check the amp draw on a blower motor, a vital part of HVAC system diagnostics that helps prevent failures and keep airflow balanced.

In This Video, You’ll Learn:

Where to access blower motor wiring safely

How to properly use a clamp meter to measure amps

How to compare your reading to the motor’s rated FLA (Full Load Amps)

What abnormal readings mean (high amps = airflow restriction, failing motor, etc.)

Safety tips for working around moving parts and high voltage

💡 A blower motor pulling the wrong amps can signal dirty filters, undersized ductwork, weak capacitors, or motor issues. Knowing how to check it live helps you fix the real problem—faster.

⚠️ Always follow safety protocols, use proper PPE, and be aware of moving parts when testing live components.
