My SQT15MS is 120Amps @208 with a 20hp main spindle. A SQT 18MS shouldn't be much more than that.

Keep in mind, this is the absolute max the machine could ever draw.

I ran it on a 60A 208 breaker drilling 2 inch holes. 85% spindle load and 85% Z axis load.

Thank you. I am looking at a twin 30hp motor converter 60 hp converter. I think this should work.

How is the power supplied to you guys in the US?
In Sweden all residential gets 3x230V+Neutral and ground) (Normally 16,20 or 25A fuses) and workshops etc also gets 3x230V but higher fuses. (230V between any phase and Neutral and 400V between 2 phases)
Neutral and ground is the same cable before the distribution box and then its 2 cables)

Do you only get 1 phase + Neutral at 110V and therefore need a converter?

I am envious! Dealing with the limitations of 1 phase power is at best a pain.
