Odd EB8 amperage...

[jgvergo]

I have an EB8 with the following equipment on it:

Return pump
Sump light
Protein skimmer
Heater
ATO pump
Fan

Everything works fine, but my Fusion Amperage graph makes no sense. I've compared the graph to each of the outlets, but nothing "lines up".

Can you zoom in on a smaller window, say 8 hours and include the relay states during that same window? I don't know fusion, but this looks as though it is just showing minimum and maximum.

3.5 amps is about 420 watts. Could that be your heater cycling on and off?

When I zoom in and overlay the graphs of everything that is plugged into the EB8, nothing lines up. Needless to say, my return pump and Protein Skimmer run almost constantly but the graph goes down to zero in many places. I did check the heater specifically and it is not the cause of the spikes.

BTW, I have a second EB8 and its graph looks exactly as I would expect it to look. Here it is with my lights being compared:
