It depends on your motor. Mine is 1.2 amps.

How many HP is your blower?

Are you sure your not referring to the combustion blower motor?


Ive got a 1/2HP on mine, its pulling about the same...but then, load, due to
the duct design, will play into this, and most people do not clamp a meter
on, close the door, and take a peak reading with the blower under load.




I used a plug-in meter (kill-a-watt) on the furnace power cord, when I
read 6.9A.
