LRA vs FLA vs RLA
LRA, FLA, and RLA are electrical current ratings found on motor and HVAC compressor nameplates (commonly in HVAC and refrigeration systems).
LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) is the massive startup surge when a motor is stuck or first turning on.
FLA (Full Load Amps) is the max continuous current for general motors.
Lastly, RLA (Rated/Running Load Amps) is the operational current specifically for HVAC compressors.
| Rating | Full Name | Definition | Current Level | Primary Use Case |
| LRA | Locked Rotor Amps | Startup surge or current drawn when the motor shaft is completely jammed. | Highest (5 to 7x normal running current) | Sizing contactors, start relays, and short-circuit breakers. |
| FLA | Full Load Amps | Maximum continuous current a general motor (like a fan) draws at full load. | Medium-High (Max safe working limit) | Sizing supply wires, fuses, and standard circuit breakers. |
| RLA | Rated / Running Load Amps | Expected continuous current a compressor draws during normal, stable operation. | Normal Operating (Varies based on system load) | Troubleshooting system health and checking actual performance. |
