    Hey, I am looking for a little help with something my system is doing. May be normal, but looks odd too me. I have a Bosch 6 Ton System. 2 Stage compressor. When my unit starts and runs I get a normal 3600 Watt load on my Sense monitoring system. However, shortly after start, I get repeat 200 Watt spikes that last for approximately 7 seconds. This cycle repeats every 18 seconds(see 3PM attachment). Any idea what this could be? I have attached an image from my monitor. In this situation, my unit is running in stage 1. If I force it to stage 2(my dropping thermostat setting significantly, the spikes go away(see IMG_2740).
