buickanddeere said: (quoted from post at 18:41:09 12/18/09) 10HP electrical = 10HP diesel = 10HP gas four stroke = 10HP steam turbine = 10HP hamsters on an exercise wheel.
The confusion starts with a 10HP electric motor being able to handle 25-30HP surge loads that would stall a 10HP diesel dead on the spot.
16HP single phase is the largest I've seen before getting into "shaded pole" single phase.
10HP on the fan would be lots and add a few smaller electric motors to run the augers.
Yes, HP=HP, by definition, BUT.........you can never install and equal HP gas engine on an air compressor, replacing same HP electric motor and have it pull it. Always has to be greater HP gas. Almost certainly has to do with torque curve. Suspect gas doesn't have enough low end torque to pull up to enough speed to develop torque/HP at run speed. In other words it can't get over the starting hump, but if it could, it might be able to hold up the load.

Today's Featured Article - Engine Valves - Some Helpful Information - by Staff. Intake - On the intake stroke the piston moves doward, sucking in carburized fuel through the open intake valve. Exhaust valve is closed. Compression - With both the intake and exhaust valves closed, the pistons upward stroke compresses or squeezes the fuel into the combustion chamber.
