It's won't draw anything close to 35 amps and a lot of the currrent it draws will be reactive power (KVARS) which your power meter does not sense (at least it should not).
15 hp is pretty big though, but if the price is right, I'd try it out. The downside is that you will need a lot of caps to spin that baby up. :-) Dave On 4/3/2011 10:52 AM, gene heskett wrote: > On Sunday, April 03, 2011 10:46:26 AM John Thornton did opine: > > >> John, >> >> I think it is finally done... sorry for the delay. >> >> http://gnipsel.com/shop/rpc/rpc.xhtml >> >> John >> >> > How efficient would you say this is John?
