DC clamp on amp probe with min/max recording is what I used, fluke. All
motors draw a large amount of current when they first start up. Im using a
100A fuse, one relay for each speed, a permacool control, and 3 switches.
one manual, one selects the speed, and one will either allow or not allow
the compressor to turn on the fan. so far I have had 0 problems with my
setup, its been on for 3 months now.
