Hi All! A newbie here, so apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.
Looking at installing a whole house generator. Getting wildly confusing/contradicting info from a number of contractors, so I'd like to check one big item for myself.
I have a heat pump (outside) and an air handler (inside) for my heating system.
Is there a way, with a clamp meter for instance, I can simply clamp over the large diameter power feeds for these units (240v) to measure what theyre drawing in amperage at startup and steady state? If so, any recommendations on a meter? Thanks much for all thoughts!
