Why does the current reading fluctuate back and forth when the reciprocating machine is operating normally?

Why does the current reading fluctuate back and forth when the reciprocating machine is operating normally? I’d appreciate some advice, thank you
Reciprocating machines have pulsating characteristics; changes in current are a direct reflection of changes in output power. This is just my guess – I hope experts can correct me
Reciprocating machines have pulsating characteristics; the working frequency of their reciprocating motion causes pressure fluctuations, which in turn leads to variations in shaft power and current. Therefore, changes in current are a direct reflection of changes in output power.
