Humidistat Accuracy

[Don]

Hi Terry,

Motors *draw* far more on start up than the "rated" amounts. The amp rating
on the new humidistat is much lower than the old *brown* units (15 amps for
them). So welding is still quite possible. BTW where did u find a
dehumidifier that was only rated at 500 watts????? Mine is much much higher
than that.

I don't have a DC humidistat in front of me, but it has an amp rating. I
seem to recall they are rated up to 600 watts at 120 volts. The
dehumidifier power consumption (500-some watts) is just below the rating
for the humidistat - so that should be OK.
