First, I am not familiar with your machines, so this information is general. I took a quick look at the Grasso website, but did not know which machine you have.
Others on this site certainly know these machines well.
If you have machines working at identical conditions it makes troubleshooting a lot easier.
I have watched the amperage draw go up when I have dropped VI on compressors. The first thing I would do is to check the VI on another machine that is operating correctly, at the same condition. If it is not in the same range, change the VI manually (if that is possible). Be careful. Dropping the VI too low can put a tremendous strain on the motor and compressor.
I think that others on this site can advise you better. I know that Grasso uses a little different control system on their Variable Speed screws.
I assume you have the technical literature on your machines. If you do not have them they are available on the Grasso website.
