On the subject of air compressors: The 748W/HP figure given by Mr.
Schwarcz assumes a 100% efficient unit, which of course cannot be. My Sanborn
2HP compressor draws 24 amps to start. A 20AMP circuit WILL NOT RUN IT! To be
on the safe side, I would suggest taking the calculated amperage figure and
DOUBLING it to find the AC line requirement.
