How much electrical amperage is drawn by the P-16 Tool motor?

0

The 12 Volts DC motor in the P- 16 Tool draws approximately 15 amps when operating under no-load. Increase in current draw is proportional to the increase in load on the tool (spreading, cutting, etc.), up to a maximum of 150 amps (+/-5 amps), at which point the tool automatically shuts off. A split-second inrush current occurs each time the motor is turned on, which peaks at approximately 200 amps.
