I have a 1 horsepower 12v DC air compressor I plan on installing in my truck. Now a simple calculation says it draws 62 amps but others who have installed this motor are telling me that they have measured the amp draw and it never see's above 38 amps even at start-up or before shut doen. Can someone explain to me how this is possible and what I need to account for in calculating the draw? Obviously I'm, missing something.
Thanks for the help
