Autoquip "Super-Torque" motors actually deliver substantially more
horsepower than their nameplate rating, they must always be wired for heavier
current-draw than standard motors of the same nameplate rating. However,
because of the "Super-Torque" motor’s starting efficiency and superior running
characteristics, circuit components do not have to be as large as for standard motors
of equal delivered horsepower.
The following chart should be referenced in connecting these motors to power sources,
remembering that heavy wire must be used all the way to the power-source.
WARNING!
