I measured the current to the 8.6a motor on my table saw while ripping some
6/4 oak with a combination blade. I figure that is about the heaviest I
ever stress it.
It measured 9.1a.
What should I make of that? Is it normal to go over the rating on heavy
loads? I haven't had any problems; I was just curious what the current
would be.
small typo, the motor is rated at 8.4a, not 8.6a. 240v.
