Won't it probably accept a moderate startup surge?
There are "slow-blow" versions, but the average fuse/breaker will pop almost exactly as rated.

edit: my circuit is 20 amp.
Other 4 tons shown on Amazon are 15 amps. 15 amps x 120v = 1800 watts.My craftsman 1,000 watt generator will run a 9 amp skill saw, so may be 2,000 watts to run one of these? Still within the hand-carry portable range.

I would take from that difference that the amperage draw is different. Basically amp rating will be similar to hp rating in gas liquid fuel engines.Iza bigga mota! I have had to learn the watt to electric method before as I needed to run specific machinery off the service truck. Currently running 3500 watt inverters.Thanx, It's a little confusing to me as some of the the 4/7ton 2 speeds I've looked at are rated at 1500watt/ 2300watt but still operate on "standard house current". Presumably the speed is slower at the 7 ton setting?

If you are not going to split nasty stuff, I would bet the draw will be south of 1400 watts. Can't see how a splitter would max out draw unless under stress/load. Is there secondary pumps, or are these even hydro?
I've raved on about my Homelite for years. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing it. It is my only splitter and I share it with a friend. We both use about 5 cords per year. Biggest I've split is 28 in. dia. black oak and 30 in. dia. Douglas fir. I'll buy another when this one quits.
