Question for anyone who may know ...
Why does my Neptune graph shows this for for two mp60s.
I’m running them at 100% 24/7
There is a constant drop in amp periodically. I wonder what’s the reason behind it and if there is any concerns here or anything else I may need to know.

How do you add this amp graph to fusion?

That graphic only pops up when you are using an EB4 or EB8, and represents the total amp draw of all outlets.

An MP60 only draws a maximum of 60 watts (thus the name), which is approximately 0.5 amps.
So 2 MP60s should only be drawing around 1 amp total.
Is there something else plugged into that EB?

So there are two mp60s connected and running all the time, the question I have is why does the amp drop to zero every so often? Does mp60 turn it self off every so often?

Is it dropping to 0 or 1? If anything else is plugged into the eb8 that could be on and turning off that is what you could be seeing. The graph drops down to 1 with just the two mp60's are on and jumps up when your other equipment turns on.

I only have 2 mp60 on that eb4. It looks like a cycle to me. The graph shows 24 hr period, strange why it does that, though it show not zero amp but rather 1.6 lowest. I’m confused why spikes are like that.

I would also be worried about two mp60's showing 6 amps. Maybe try a couple different outlets to see if they give the same reading.

6.6 amps? That's more than just 2 mp60s. That's dang near 800 watts. Something is off no doubt. Either the graph is off for some reason or something else is on that circuit.

Any chance a heater is plugged in there? Would explain the on off and with the low being 1.6 amps sounds right for 500-600 watts of heater.
