it's hard to read your specs, but I believe it says this motor is 15.4 amps. since a lot of circuits are 15 amp, would this blow the circuit?

Depends a lot on our house service distance etc. Short answer it can work but you probably need to use a 20A circuit minimum to run safely. For starters the fuse size for a 1HP with 16 full load amp is 20A (16A*1.25). This allows the motor to start with nomnal load without tripping the breaker. The longer the cable the further away you are from your utility transformer the more likely you will trip the fuse as the voltage drops (which increases the amperage)

Probably not until full load on the motor. Mine is on a homemade belt grinder, works great. The only time I've blown the breaker (20a) is when my cutoff saw is being used simultaneously. Hope this helps

I run mine on a 20amp breaker, and have not any troubles at all. The Motor so far runs strong and quiet. If it were me I would change the breaker on that circuit with a 20 amp, as long as you are not running a lot of other thing on that circuit all at once.

I have not tested but theoretically yes, but it will not run at full speed. The motor is rated for 12 volts and AA only put out 1.5 volt so 4 AA in series would be 6 volts. If it turns it would be slow. I would recomend finding either a 12v rc car battery or a 12v "wall wart" depending on your needs.

If the 15 amp device is something big to start, It will not.I cant use my 15 amp compressor (Ridgid) using this 3500 W Champion Generator.

Not to sure what will the performance be at 9~12V. You might want to contact the sales support at AmpFlow through Amazon. Else look at the Power curve chart when you browse the said motor. Sorry I'm not able to give you any more help.

My Installers threw away all the manuals! I was not too happy. But I believe it draws very little Amps...like around 4ish...so I think you would be more than fine with 15. I looked it up at Lowes and they say 3.3 amps for a 450 CFM, so right around there I would assume. On another note, we are very happy with this. It is much quieter than the one we replaced and we always get compliments on it. It lights up very well and it sucks the steam and grease right up. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem at the time determining the maximum current but I think most fans should be ok. I used it for a fairly large fan so I'm guessing most is good for most 15 amp circuits .

Yes, it is a 115 volt system and it draws 11.9 Amps according the plate on the side. We run it with no trouble on a 15 amp circuit but we do have to try and keep other things off that circuit when it's running.

Elsewhere it states the unit draws 13 amps or about 1500-1600 watts, three time the capacity of your 'converter'. Plus, it this is an electronic converter rather than a real transformer, it won't work with a motor, only a resistance load. So it sounds as if you're out of luck on two counts.

I'm not an expert but if you plug this into a 220v outlet you will burn the motor out. However, I can 't believe that they would sell it if it was not compatible with the local power supply.

The MLCS 9400 should work, but as a general rule, it's not a good idea to run a device at it's maximum rating, in this case 15 amps. I would suggest buying the MLCS 9410 which is rated at 20 amps just to be on the safe side.

It should work just fine since it will handle 40 amps per pole. I am running a 220/240 volt motor with 20 amps per pole, 40 amps total. 6 amps will not be much of a draw, so you will not be stressing it at all.

It draws 6 Amps, so I think you could. I don't recall what the CFM is on this blower. I installed 2 of them on my boat and they are working as expected.

My apologies. Forgot to mark your email as unread until I got the answer. Then forgot to look at motor. Noticed your email question as I was deleting old emails. You probably no longer need it but here is the answer. 19.5 amp, 60 HZ,110 V, single phase, power 8.2 KW. Once again, sorry for the delay. Ed

Hello Jose ! I don't think it will mess up your motor. What is the problem with your motor ? Do you have spark or is your motor not running very well ? I need more information. This product is only designed to give a spark which makes the motor run, so I can't see it messing up a motor.

I dont know exacrly, but make sure your car is running if you use an acdc inverter from your car, hahahaha. Its not a crazy strong motor, but it does take quite a bit to blow that guy up

As much as I know, modern large refrigerators don't ever draw more than a few amps, perhaps as many as 6 amps for a second or two when the compressor first kicks in. I believe the 15 amps the question refers to is minimum circuit size which includes the circuit breaker and all the wiring from the circuit box to and including the outlet box the refrigerator plugs into. Running small motors like compressors with less than a 15 amp circuit can at start-up cause a voltage drop that can lead to damage to the motor. Something is horribly wrong if your refrigerator ever draws more than 10 amps, no matter how old or inefficient it is.

This motor is rated at 0.360 Kw. This converted to amps is ~ 30 amps at full power. On top of the control head, there is a basic chart on what to expect based on how you use it and the size of the battery you use. I'm using a battery rated at 180 @ 25 amps. I could run this for 3 hours on 4.
