My number 1 a/c started pulling VERY high amps on start up.  Enough so my Hughes PowerWatch would shut down.  Looked quickly and it went to 62 amps on one leg and shut off completely.  Any ideas?  I’m not an a/c specialist but am reasonably handy and will go up when weather clears and remove the cover to look for any obvious issue.
Any and all thoughts appreciated.  Happy 4th to all.

Thanks,
Terry
