Motor start amps.

[Jcil7]

I don’t see any way to find how many amps a motor such as a well Pump or air circulator motor uses at initial startup.

I’ve tried zooming in on the graphs but it’s impossible. It’s like finding a golf ball from orbit.

I did by luck happen to be watching the graph at the time my furnace came online, so I know the data is there. It’s just impossible to find it again.

I’d like this data so I can make sure I’m supplying an adequate backup source.

To change the units of measurement to Amps go to menu >> units of measurement and select Amps.

I believe the OP is pointing out that you can see the initial startup amps in the graph on the app when your live and for some time after. But if you scroll back to get a historical look at the graph, the startup amps disappear???  This can be just hours. And the thing is it still shows the data so it’s not like it’s a strain on the cloud. It seems like it might view it as an error and then truncates the value???

I’ve heard people mention that the cloud doesn’t support any second data but if you look at the graph in the app, live or historical, the seconds are displayed as a line graph and minutes are displayed as a bar graph.

I will attempt to attach two images. Both are the same circuit, same time frame. The difference is that one is live and the other is historical. So again, this isn’t a scenario where we are looking to change or increase functionality, as this functionality already exists.
