A:Answer Good day,
We'll be glad to answer your question! This freezer has a running amps of 2.2. Appliances with compressors (ex. refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers), there is a brief surge of power when the compressor cycles on. This is called the "surge" or "start-up" amps, and is about 2x to 3x the running amps. We hope this information is helpful. Reach out if you have any additional questions. Mike@GEA
