...that much amps? I wanted to know how much amps will it use and what does it depend on to make the amps rate go up to max? thank you.
well i have a bowling ball spinner and it is rated at 10.5 amps. So does that mean it will draw 10.5 amps at start and then on load it will run lower?
 
An electric motor will draw 120% of rated amperage at start-up. The maximum draw will be 12.6 amps unless put under load.
