Hey all,
I did a cleaning job yesterday and had a heck of a time with power. The farmer had the oldest breaker box I’ve ever seen. The breakers were about 3” by 6” and we kept having to got to bigger and bigger breakers. Finally he got his amp tester out and we found that we were drawing 116 amps at startup and running almost 60 amps whil running. I’m running a newer 7.5 hp Baldor motor on the cleaner, 3 - 1 hp motors on the augers to load it, and 2- 1 hp motors to unload it. All the smaller motors are on 12 gauge wire and the big motor is on 8 gauge I think. I’m surprised by the amp draw. I guess the first thing to do is change the cleaner motor to a 5 hp. My generator is still in the shop. They said they had time to do it, but now it’s been 5 months.
