Thanks for all the help everyone... Had tech come in and test capacitors, 2 were dead and a few others running on low side, replaced 3 cause thats all he brought with him and amperage draw is down to 49. Still have cpl more capacitors to change out and fan to replace and I should be back on track...again thanks for all the help Sarge and Brian...appreciate it.

what is the running amp and the breaker size . this will help me on your problem

The size of the booster doesn't create the increased draw, raising the voltage in an LC circuit increases the current draw.

If you take a .5 KVA and a 2.0 KVA booster and plug it into the wall with no bed running on it, they will both draw the same marginal amount of power. (yes the primary of any transformer will draw power even if the connected load is not running) The load is what determines the amount of amp draw. The size of the booster does not cause more draw. Raising the voltage causes inductance/capacitance circuits to draw more current. This is a function of raising the voltage, not a function of the transformer creating a load itself.

The size of the booster determines the maxinum load it can handle without melting down and the winding ratio determines the voltage change between the primary and secondary windings.
