Scmi Sandya 1s 37” WB amps

[Mark e Kessler]

Anyone have a SCMI Saynda 1s 37” WB with 18hp motor? Looking to see what your meter shows when running under no load and when taking a few thou (say 0.004) off with a 120 belt at full width or close too. I know this is pretty specific and the amp meter is not 100% accurate but any info would help.

I am seeing 20amps under no load seems a little high, I could do the calculation but am lazy and I don’t have the motor plate.

motor is 18hp 230v 3p


thanks, mark

My wide belt pulls a 100 amps on startup.
