Amperage on Tool outlet CT36

[Eherby]

I’m confused on the amp rating. If the Kapex is rated at 13.7 amps and the outlet on the CT36 states a max amp of 3.7 how do you use the two.  Heck my Rotex is rated at 5 amps and I’ve never had  a problem.

  There are quite a number of discussions on this also.

Perhaps the amps drawn by tools manufactured by companies other than Festool follow a different version of Ohm's law than Festool amps and the rating on the outlet is downscaled proportionally?

    How long have you been using your Rotex on the CT without a problem?

My Rotex and CT 24 are 5 years old..... I think.  I also have a Domino.
