Checking Amp Draw for 380, 400 or 415 volt units
1. With voltage disconnected from the fryer, attach an amp clamp to wire 1L1 at the upper
heating element (Figure 2).
2. Re-connect voltage to the fryer and select a product to allow the fryer to call for heat. Once
heating, make a note of the wire being checked and the amp draw from the amp clamp.
Example: Wire 1L1 Amp Reading 12.7
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for wires 1L2 and 1L3 for the upper heater and then for wires 1L1, 1L2
and 1L3 for the lower heater. Remember to note amp draw for each wire.
4. Compare the noted readings with the "Amps per heater" column in Table 1. that matches the
voltage of the fryer. If all voltage readings are within 10% of this number, the heat circuit is
working properly and passes inspection. If one or several of the wires tested does not match,
troubleshoot to narrow down whether there are issues with incoming voltage, contactor(s),
or heating element assemblies.
