Motors drawing over 15a @ 120v should be wired to 240v.

So who has a motor drawing over 15A? He said it's a true 1HP motor. 1HP =
apprpox 750 watts = a little over 6A at 120V.


I'm really not sure what you mean by a true 1HP motor. Do you mean 100% efficiency?

In real life, a 1HP motor will draw between 10 and 15 amps at 115 VAC, depending on motor construction, speed and efficiency.

However, if you know of a source or those 1HP, 6A 120VAC, 100% efficient motors, please post a link. I may want to buy a few.
