I thought Current was the flow THRU the thing and Amps were the unit
if measurement ?

But, Current is dyanmaic, flowing, moving. Amperage (to me at least)
is a rating.

My motors have FLA ratings. My Fuses do was well.

But, we are not all up on the lingo for all things. I may be bush
league and use amperage to describe the rating or engineering, but
current to describe the actual measured flow. (that is if current is
a particle and not a wave)
