Most 1.5 HP motors can be star ted if there is no load on the motor or other load connected to the machine, since the full load current rating of a 1.5HP motor is appro ximately 20 amperes (10 amperes f or 230 v olt motors). The motor ma y be run at full load when plugged into only one side of the duple x receptacle. Larger motors through 2HP can b[...]
