Re: AMPs for RC and Compressor
The manual recommends running the compressor of a 20 amp breaker and the robot controller and <R55> states that the robot controller must be protected by a 20 Amp breaker. I know, you asked how much they draw. I don't know exactly, but I image the compressor draws around 10amps (probably more on startup) and the robot controller around 2.
