I'm really bored with this, tables for 1450rpm motors which actually state on them that higher speed motors will take less current don't help at all.

Fact is that many people are happily using these spindles from 13A sockets in the UK. For your information a standard UK 13A socket is on a 2.5sq mm ring main - effective 5mm - from a 32A breaker.

Pippin has written on this thread that his is working fine on his Aussie 10A outlet, countless others are doing the same.

Add in the fact that they're probably 2200 "Chinese Watts" and you have even more headroom.

I'll waste no more time on your claims that a 13A supply can just about manage 1000W and will pop breakers - it doesn't happen in theory or the real world, only on Planet Mac.

I'm out.
