Basically if under full load your motor is still way down in the grew close to say 50% that means the motor is not having to work hard at all. While we might think that is a good thing it's not really. Although it won't hurt the motor you would be wasting money on an oversized motor with the original purchase. And you will also be wasting electricity because your having to power a huge motor and to do very little work. An example. You don't need a semi-truck to pull a 12 foot camper... It will do the job but you will spend a lot more on a semi than a pickup truck and spend a lot more on diesel.
Thanks a lot i love your video
Thanks for including a link to the demo board. Very useful!
Hi Brandon, your share is useful! I have a question: can we apply this for generator? Thank you!
I don't think it's designed for looking at the motor health of a generator. But I could be wrong. Call tech support and double check 800-44-FLUKE
