If it pulls 16 amps on startup it may pose a problem for some 15 amp main circuit breakers particularly if they have anything else on that circuit. So I am going to assume the OP meant to say 1.60 amps. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

At 4.43 seconds into the video the nameplate is for Voltage : AC 200 -240 50-60 HZ so what is the expected current draw on the standard North American household voltage of 120 volts on a 15 amp circuit or does this motor require a dedicated 220 volt 20 amp circuit. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

Of course it doesn't because the motor isn't running! It only runs when you feed electricity to it. - it uses less power at idle than a clutch motor. Of course it does, see above answer. A clutch motor runs continuously once switched on, a servo doesn't. It may very well be a nice motor, and I like that the speed can be varied without having to delve into the menus, but this sort of advertising does you no favours. What's wrong? The clutch motor will be noise as long as you feed the electricity. It is the advantage of sevo motor. Quote

My guess would be that while running it might draw somewhere around 6 amps @ 120 volts and I don't know what the starting current for a servo motor is but my servos start and run fine on a 110 volt 15 amp circuit. I'm sure the motor probably runs fine off of a typical household circuit as it looks to be just a pretty common servo motor...nothing special. I'm not sure the author of the post knows what he is talking about and I sure wouldn't trust any information coming from this advertisement. Quote

I would say you have a disconnect between the Engineering guys and the Advertising guys. The information so far is really not helpful. There is no way the numbers work out even on 220 volt systems as the motor tested was made for EU systems. To use their motor on a 120 volt system the amp draw would be approximately twice or according to their figures 320 amps. Most new homes in North America only run 200 or 225 amp main services. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver

While you are checking with your Engineer please also ask if the motor and or components are CE, UL or CSA approved. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
