OK, don't be fooled by cold air fan amperage readings taken in your garage. Look at this typical fan graph from SPAL. Note that the difference in amperage draw goes from around 16 to 27 (it's the red dotted line). That's a pretty big difference. Throw in a crappy connection and you can easily go past 30 on even a regular day if the under hood temperatures climb up on you.
