Default 10 HP idler motor starting: 120 amps!

And why pony motors make sense for the big ones, they don't just dim
your lights but everyone's on the same transformer!
After getting close to the running rpm the large motor I start does NOT
dim even my lights, I have never measured the amps that the motor needs
to get up to full speed but I would guess 50-60 amps do it.
Next time I start mine, and have a clamp ammeter handy I will check.
