Gunner sez: "> Prayer. Lots of it."

Yeah ! Prayer of Biblical proportions. Full load single-phase "draw" of
a 7.5 HP motor on 115 V is around 80 amps.

I'm trying to run a 5.5kw motor on 7.2kw of power, shouldn't take too big of
a miracle if my power factor is reasonable. If not, I'll have to throw more
money at it, then pray to pay my bills!
