Got myself a whale tale vac attachment to use when mixing indoors

So this is a 5KW transformer with a 13A BS1363 plug (or is it plugless?)? I assume your dust extractor isn't more than 3.1kW (~27A 110)?
 
It just getting the 240v to your transformer now!! You’ll need a long extension on some site and they don’t allow 240v now!
No, I do realise that John, but on sites like that, it’s not often others use the 32A outlets, so it’s generally ok anyway 🙂
 
One big sucker that is. So 2400W from the two motors.

With a BS plug attached then that effectively downrates the input. A standard 13A plug (BS 1363) is designed to fit cables up to a maximum of 1.5mm2. The maximum current capacity of a 1.5mm2 cable is 15A and should be protected by a maximum fuse size of 13A (~3.5kw).

Anyway without more detail the point being that try not to sup to much juice from the other outlets when you have the vac working hard and avoid a meltdown or fire.
