Some are stating the normal current draw of this size compressor to be 1.6 to 1.8 amps at 115 volts. I didn't see where you took into consideration the efficiency of the compressor, so from you figures values 1.6 to 1.8 could be correct, and since you are off the booze, I just can find fault with you. The next time you have a chance, measure the current in both the start and run windings and let me know what you find. Also I don't know if the inductance of the motor, in series with capacitor used in the start winding would come close to the resonance frequence of the 60 Hertz line. I have never seen a start capacitor, of such a low value as they use for the run capacitor however. And by the way do you know how they deside the value of the run cap? I would have to think about how you can get more Btu out of the compressor than the power it uses. Never did that good in school, too many girls I guess. 2 lbs on the low side and 145 on the high side sounds about right to me on R134a systems. Himeros
