I specifically want to know how much current the blowers in my dust collecors are drawing. Paying a few extra dollars for a plug in GFCI outlet checker seems prudent. All the ones I saw at the homestores today (team blue and team orange) sure looked like the same product from the same factory, with a bit of variance in the order the various functions appeared on the rotary swtich. Prices were from $42-$189 for what looked like virtually identical units.
I am not an electrician, I am a professional biologist and a hobby woodworker. Is there a price point or a brand name where I can say "my blower is drawing XYZ amps" and have reputable data? I mean for like Electrical Engineers to say, "yup, that is credible current draw."
Thanks
