Default Electric mower / trimmer?

An electric motor can output more than it's rated HP for a short time if
sufficient electricity is available vs. a gas engine which can not
generally exceed it's rated HP. If the electricity is not available to
support the extra HP, either due to voltage drop from long extension
cords or circuit breakers tripping, you won't get any extra HP.


That sounds right.
