So on 50A 240V service, the electric AH draws total of 6100 watts split as 18.75 A on each 240 V leg (18.75 x 240 = 4500) plus 13.3 A on one leg of 120 V (13.3 x 120 = 1600) which totals 32.1 A on one side and 18.75 on the other? Did I follow correctly?
Can the user select anywhere which elements come on? Remove / replace fuses on the AH unit? I don't have any particular reason besides curiosity.
How does the unit "know" if its on 120V or 240V and which elements to power?
I'm not really savvy at the diagram symbols…I'm not dumb but I lack formal education in the electrical department.
Apparently the squirrel cage fan pulls power BEFORE the ammeters because they don't seem to show the consumption and based on other agriculture fan motors of similar size I guess it probably draws around 10A of 120 or 5A of 240 but I'm not sure which way its wired.
