Default Power

Yo,
I got a measurement of power consumption of my linear compressor on Sunday. 375 watts ..... which I do not believe. Unfortunately, the inductive amp-probe I used must be way out of wack. I truly believe that this machine is pulling about 110 watts.
375 watts is three times what the compressor is rated; and I'd be going broke paying the electric bill (relatively speaking).

If anyone is truly interested, I'll try to scrape up an inline ammeter and find the real power consumption of this beast.
