DC-3300: Power readings

Post by bobgroh »

Just finished replacing gaskets on my DC-3300 and used it for the first time today. I also have a new toy - a digital AC power monitor! So I measured the voltage, current and power factor for the DC-3300 for 3 conditions: all 3 ports open, 2 ports open and 1 port open. Normal short dust bag on top.
3 ports open: 8.27 amps, power factor = 0.68
2 ports open: 7.87 amps, power factor = 0.63
1 port open: 7.28 amps, power factor = 0.53

Voltage in every case was 119 to 120 Volts, 60Hz AC

No idea what air flow is (that will have to be another toy for the future). I am also going to upgrade to a 1 micron bag later on this year - will wait for SS to have a sale!
