[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1542770, member: 7157"] Thanks for the elaboration! I had been looking at the problem from the wrong angle, but now that I've got the right perspective in mind, I can see how Ohm's Law and 120V vs. 240V work out. Also, the cutter in question is a Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 38, which at full load consumes 3220 watts. That's 26.8 amps at 120V, so with continuous use at partial load, the cutter could still trip a 20-amp breaker. Makes sense, because I can run the cutter for 10-12 seconds before the breaker trips. So an upgrade is in the works (of course, done by a professional!) [/QUOTE]
