Wow: that was nice. Interesting that the nameplate clearly documented its current draw at startup and while running (1/3 the startup).

- Animats 3y ago> current draw at startup and while running That tells you that the device needs to be on a circuit with a slow-blow fuse or circuit breaker. Motors draw more current during startup. Look up "inrush current" and "motor protection circuit breaker". (Starting AC electric motors is surprisingly difficult. Tesla's big contribution to electrical technology was figuring out how to start AC motors simply, cheaply, and reliably.)
