Well, I finally found a clamp on amp guage for the right price. It's not the best, but for 27.00, I think it will work. I had to take the cover off the breaker box to do the measurements as that's the only place I could grab the wires individually. Here are the readings I took.
blast gates open / red wire / black wire
all closed / 7.2 / 7.1
TS open (6") / 14.1 / 13.7
BS open (4") / 13.1 /13.7
TS and BS open / 15.5 / 14.8
Multi station (6")
TS and BS / 15.7 / 15.5
multistation and TS / 15.8 / 15.4
That seems like I could have all gates open without a problem, if the meter is correct. (Greenlee CMT-60) I do notice that when I have two 6" gates open, that the flow is reduced, but that would seem normal to me.
So, does this match with your readings? Jim.
