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.

Al, you are spitting into the wind. Sure he said that. Sure it is stupid.
Sure he will deny saying it even though is is publically posted. Trying to
convince him otherwise is not a good use of your time. Just killfile the
jerk.

You know, toller, if you would put one-tenth as much energy into reading a
couple of good books on electrical wiring as you put into trying to defend
your ridiculous misunderstandings and attacking the people who correct them,
you might actually learn enough that you wouldn't be dangerous any more.

Yes, I said that. No, it isn't stupid. I'm obviously not going to deny it,
because I *did* say it, and it *is* correct.

I will, however, deny saying that any actual 1HP motor exists that draws only
6A/120V, as your buddy continues to falsely claim.
