Every once in a while these weasels get caught but that peak HP is simply horse poop. I did get a metal nibbler as the settlement on a compressor "peak HP" scam but, as usual, the other weasels, the lawyers, really cashed in.
The best I can tell, peak HP is computed, based on the locked rotor current of the motor or what the instantaneous effort it would take to stop the rotor. Whatever it is, it does not mean anything.
Power, HP, Watts, Btuh., it is not all times what it looks!!! Example: If we are to use formula from above?
1HP=746 watts, (1HP=12000Btuh,) 1watt= x3.41=Btuh. But 746 watt x 3.41= 2544 Btuh. Why and how come ??? If? 1HP=12,000/3.41, 1Hp it should =3519 watts it doesn?t ?? What these equation tells me that Each is based on it?s own, There is no one basic to fallow. You can fallow OHMS law but separately from Btuh. Btuh. vs hp. must be on condition which is used, for Refrigeration is one for AC is the other.
(In a perfect, no-loss world, that would require 6.5*746 or 4849 watts or
40.4 amps. )
This reading can be Peak RMS or known as ?SPIKE? and spikes can be high as four times rated Value. Amp-probes can not peak up this, it most be measured with Oscilloscopes? Specifically design for peak Measurements.
The Air watts I never hear of, Ware that came from. We also have another scenario, have any one of you try to purchase Audio Amplifier and sales person tell you this unit is grate it is 600 watts output. Ha ha take good look on the back side it says fuse 3 amp. Max. Well if is fused for 3 amp. And 120 max. input is 360 watts, they selling it for
600 watts that is excellent efficiency you can start selling Electricity back to PE&G. You see that is peak RMS which to any user don?t mean shit. And this power can only be measure with Oscilloscopes Under ideal conditions.
