I turned everything in my house on to see what my total amps is. I used a clamp meter in the panel where the main enters. My service is 100 amps. My bandsaw has the biggest motor and I only use one tool at a time so this is what I had running during the test, but it was not under load.
Hot wire 1: 53 amps
Hot wire 2: 40 amps
Neutral wire: 8 amps
I did not check ground...
1st question: do I add 53 and 40 to arrive at 93 of my 100 amps available, or is it 100 per hot wire?
2nd question: is it normal to have each of the hot wires out of balance so much?
3rd question: is it normal to have an amperage reading at all on the neutral wire? I was expecting to see zero.
any input is appreciated
