[TheForge] Electrics for shop

[peter fels]

Probably the demands to watch are the arc welder and the start-up draw of the compressor.
With my 100 amp , 220 service i avoid running both at once, though my leaky, old compressor has a 10 hp motor on it.

I'm a retired hobbyist so don't really have an 'industrial' requirement but do expect to run a compressor, tumbler, arc welder, smallish power hammer (LG or possibly pneumatic), and other related though not particularly power sucking tools. The compressor and power hammer I don't yet have but I am looking into the various specs.
