Ed, Matt, and other CV1800 owners,
I got my CV1800 assembled far enough to do an initial startup. I don't have any filters installed, no ductwork, nor a dust bin yet. The current draw was 17.1 Amps. I put a bucket over the bottom of the cyclone to "seal" it off and the current dropped to 10.5 Amps. If if put a piece of plywood over the intake to simulate closed blast gates the current drops to 8.5 Amps. After searching around here I see varied results on current draw, but mine seems a little low compared to others experience. Does this sound about right for a LH CV1800 unit?
Thanks,
-Todd
