I have a pcnc 440 coming this week. I'm so excited, coming a week earlier than expected. I wanted to know what is the power draw at the wall with it running the pc on. I have a 15 amp breaker only which is why I got the 440.

The spec sheet says it draws 15 amps on a 110 VAC circuit so you will need a dedicated 15-amp circuit. It isn't clear from the spec sheet if that also includes the power drawn by the PC and monitor or not.

It is a 3/4 hp motor. With standard motor and VFD inefficiencies, 15A should be plenty... for the motor, VFD, drivers, computer and monitor.

But don't think you are going to be running it on the same circuit as a space heater....

You will be fine. My 770 rarely ever exceeds 11 amps while running flat out. As far as I can tell the 20 amp designation of that machine basically was made to satisfy the NEC due to the fact that it has a 1 horse rated motor. You should be quite fine.

Awesome thanks
