It takes about 14.5 amps at 120 volts. But thats after its up and running, its the compressor starting up that draws the higher amps.That's why you need a generator ( or 30 amp ck.) that will give you a lot of amps. A 4000 watt generator will handle around 36 amps startup and run at full load of around 23 to 26 amps. 2-2000 watt gen's in parallel will do just this,I know you'll probaly get a million different reply's but power is always good to look at and have a little extra then not enough.I always say "GOOD POWER AINT CHEAP! CHEAP POWER AINT GOOD!"
