Thanks Ray for the data comparison - yes unfortunately they are on a
high hill and need to 2 HP - it's a monster!

I have a macerator in my basement, I just measured it, and I was
hitting roughly 1100 watts peak for 1 sec. I don't know what the Hp
rating is, but its 120 vac, so I'm guessing 1/2 Hp. Do they have to
have 2 Hp? That seems over kill. The one we have does a great job on
a toilet, shower, and 2 sinks.

Hey Esteemed Wrenches,
So I recently built a power trailer with a single 4 KW (4048)
Schneider SW for a client with a moderate cabin lifestyle.
But he lives on a high hill and even though his 2 HP Macerator is
only rated at 15 amps continuous that baby starts up with a whopping
kick - probably close to or at it's 53 Amps Locked Rotor rating.
The SW has the following surge capability:
SW 4048 Rated@ 240 Volts:
Continuous - 15.2 Amps 3700 Watts
30 Minutes - 18.3 Amps 4400 Watts
5 Secs - 29.2 Amps 7000 Watts
Max (100ms?) - 41 Amps - 9840 Watts
Can I be confidant that 2 stacked SWs will start this baby?
Any experience with similar macerators - or simply educated guesses?
Thanks!
Jeff
