15 amps 4hp does'nt add-up can anyone clrify if its a typo on the part of the manufacturer?

Yeah, the math doesn't work out but looking at the Worx website, under Technical Specifications they list it as "Peak Power: 4HP" so I'm guessing they've got some measurement scheme where 1 HP != 745 watts.

15 amps is 1650 watts rms (root mean square). At the peak of the alternating current's sine wave (ac cycles 50 or 60 times a second in a wave pattern) the saw is drawing 3,300 watts or around 4hp. This is a kind of deceptive description of the saw's power but I've seen other manufacturers (Poulan) do the same thing. It is still plenty powerful to cut down a 16 inch diameter oak tree with no problem and you do need a hefty power cord.

late reply here: I was installing this as a trunk release in my car today and during a bench test I found that this motor pulled up to a max of 4.1 Amps when full extended or compressed (leaving it engaged for more than 2 seconds)

Every tool manufacturer has found a way to exaggerate their power ratings in order to make their products more marketable. Those 120v shop vacs that are claiming an output of 6.5 HP is case in point. They get away with it by calling it "peak" horsepower. I believe they calculate peak HP by factoring in the start up amps that it takes to get the motor going, not the running amps. Startup amps can be 3 to 4 times the normal running amps. Yes, startup amps only surge for a second or two at most, but again it's a marketing ploy.

Marcie, I think you are missing some letters off of that serial number. That number alone does not pull anything up. Can you either supply us with the horsepower or contact us for help in determining the correct kit for your motor 877-388-2628

Aurelia, let me go check out the manual, which by the way, really does stink; I must admit the manual stinks. Lookit that: not only does it not mention the wattage range, there is no Underwriter's Laboratory information. Nor is there an information regarding the engine's power. I guess we would mark this up as a con. I do not see a switch on the machine from 110/120 to 220/240.

Hi 3.4 Amps 1/10 hp 1100 R.P.M 120 VoltsHere is the link: http://www.lomanco.com/online-store#!/~/product/category=1513275&id;=6814548

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

Volts x amps = watts. 745 watts = 1 HP. So 120 x 15 = 1,800 / 745 = 2.4 HP.

can't be right. mine works great. runs all the ac on my boat. you could call the co to confirm, but i don't see it on my amp meter when everything is off

Being a 1hp pump, the current draw is 6.5 amps. Make sure wiring should handle it. I would advise using a GFI outlet on it for shock protection should the motor windings short out (very rarely happens). That's the Engineer in me worrying about things. Good luck!

the motor is rated at 1/4hp so that would make the current draw a bit less than 2 amps.

So the manufacturer's site is out of date, how does this affect this model? This is a back motor with more than 250 watts as described...

I dunno, but it IS a pretty generic motor... just check the power & it should be fine.

I don't know of the top of my head, but it should be written on the battery. Most likely it reflects the model of the battery. In this case, probably 20 amps.

15 amp is fine as long as the rest of the circuit is not overloaded. Mine run off a dedicated circuit, 15amp, and I have no issues. You run into trouble with overloading the circuit that plug is on. Clear as mud, right? Trial and error, if you are blowing your circuits, you are overloaded.

To be sure just check the output on the speed controller (in this case 15 amp) and make sure the fans doesn't exceed 15 amps. More than likely the fan will not come close to 15 amps. I don't see this fan drawing more than 1 or 2 amps.

The specs on this unit looks correct my OEM product says 4 amps but 3 should be sufficient.
