I have got one of those Thumper Dual max compressors and it can draw Up to 90A But I am pretty sure it isn't working that hard to air up to 40PSI.
It does pump 300L/min though so I suppose it is running at about 40-50A But I have absolutely No idea how to check haw many amps it is drawing when it is running.
It would be interesting to find out exactly how much amps the compressor is actually drawing when in use, Anyone know how to check this?

Clamp meter if you have one, or an ammeter with a shunt.

I don't have either of those items, The most technical bit of electrical Kit I have is a multimeter
