Hi Tim,
I have the Campbell-Hausfield 2.5HP 20 gallon tank version, and I have
it running on a 15 amp circuit without too much trouble. If it switches
on just as I pull the trigger on my MIG welder, it'll blow the fuse, but
otherwise it works OK. You can't use an extension cord, though - the voltage
drop on startup is too great, it lugs the motor and blows the fuse. It's
better to use a longer hose, anyway.
