Ken that Gast 0523 vane on 230 volt should pull no more than 2.2 amps/ @ 12 cents per KW figure a buck a day to operate.Start/stop several times per day with pressure in the lines can be taxing on a vane punp.If yours is drawing more amps than that something may be very wrong.Also your pressure should be about 6 psi and the lower the pressure the less the amp draw.
