It may seem trivial to you but I'll ask once more, how is the amperage being measured? If you have a measuring system that isn't accurate, the information you get from it is worse than no information at all. 29 amps of draw would be very high for two A/C units running. 14 amps is on the low side for two units.
Do you have other 120V devices besides the A/C units and the converter drawing power? Refrigerator or water heater on electric?
Edit: OK, I found that the PD EMS displays amperage and I'm assuming that is what's referenced with the electrical draw. I believe this is probably fairly accurate. The large draw seen when the converter failed may have been the failing converter and now that it is replaced, hope all goes well.
Sorry, thought you were asking the exact amount. We were using a Milwaukee clamp meter. The EMS cycles through its display so it was frustrating to take a reading every 20 seconds. So I never use the EMS for readings only as a comparison or reference point. I had the water heater and the refrigerator on the whole time. I turned the microwave on when I was troubleshooting.
Thanks.
