Neighbor George, to your comment "So they can do all the math they learned in a class room, won't change a thing."

Actually math CAN ANSWER the "question asked" of how many watts are required to RUN a motor and actually math and engineering and physics CAN ANSWER the "question NOT asked" of what's required to START a motor, and I covered BOTH in my response. Having been an electrical engineer at the Century Electric Motor Company I can tell you from experience and education the math to RUN a motor may be less complicated then what it takes to START a motor. HOWEVER if you notice I told the poster the current required to START a motor may be 3 to 5 times what it takes to RUN a motor !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right, many lack the experience and/or education dealing with starting currents of a motor. I however do and try my best to explain it to the non electrical trained and experienced gents here.

You're also right, "the math wont change a thing" and that's true for the math to RUN a motor or the math to START a motor. Once calculated "it wont change" although physical wear and tear and friction and outside forces may change causing changes in the math.

Of course to each their own free choices, be it a Battery and Inverter orrrrrrrrrr a 12 VDC Compressor orrrrrrrrrrrr a Gas powered compressor. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Wouldn't it be a boring world if we all had to do things the same way or had to follow what one person chose.

Best wishes n God Bless neighbor, take care n stay safe

John T

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a ...
