Key Findings

| Test Date | 2025-11-01 |
Test Procedure
- Pre-test: Confirm sample unit identity (8#, 9#) and record baseline condition. Verify measurement instruments are calibrated and zeroed.
- Setup: Connect the C2PV unit to the test rig. Attach the ammeter in series with the motor power supply circuit to measure draw current.
- Load Application: Apply a controlled pressure load starting at 10.0 PSI. Record the draw current (A) at each load point.
- Increment: Increase load in 10.0 PSI steps up to 150.0 PSI, recording current at each step.
- Repeat: Perform the same procedure for both Unit 8# and Unit 9# independently.
- Post-test: Disconnect unit from test rig. Review recorded data for any anomalies or out-of-range readings.
- Acceptance Criteria: Current values should follow the expected motor characteristic curve (rising with load, then tapering at high pressure). No thermal runaway or sudden current spike should occur.

| 8# | 150.0 | 11.4 | 9# | 150.0 | 11.9 |
Observations: Both units display a characteristic bell-curve current profile. Unit 8# reaches its peak of 12.3 A at 110.0–120.0 PSI, then decreases to 11.4 A at 150.0 PSI. Unit 9# reaches its peak of 12.3 A at 130.0 PSI, then decreases to 11.9 A at 150.0 PSI. Unit 9# consistently draws slightly less current than Unit 8# at equivalent loads in the lower pressure range (10–100 PSI), converging at higher pressures. No abnormal spikes or drops were recorded in either unit.
Conclusion

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the load current test measure for the ETENWOLF C2 tire inflator?
The load current test measures the electrical current (in amperes) drawn by the C2PV motor as the output pressure increases from 10.0 to 150.0 PSI. This characterizes how the motor responds under real working conditions and helps verify it stays within safe operating limits.
At what pressure does the ETENWOLF C2 motor draw peak current?
In this test, Unit 8# reached peak current of 12.3 A at 110.0–120.0 PSI, and Unit 9# reached the same peak of 12.3 A at 130.0 PSI. Above these points, current tapers slightly as the motor behavior changes at higher pressures.
Why does current decrease at very high pressure loads?
As the inflator approaches its upper pressure range, airflow resistance increases significantly, causing the motor to slow down. The reduced motor speed results in lower back-EMF opposition, which can cause the current curve to flatten or slightly decline — a normal characteristic of DC motor behavior under stall-approaching conditions.
Were both C2PV units within acceptable current range?
Yes. Both Unit 8# and Unit 9# produced consistent, expected bell-curve current profiles across all 15 load points from 10.0 to 150.0 PSI. No abnormal spikes, drops, or deviations were recorded in either unit during the 2025-11-01 test session.
