How can a tape drive take 40A on 3 phases? The motors can't be that big,
surely?
It seems to me that 3 phase power should require a LOT less to start, or
even stop, a motor.
40A of 200V? I'll have to do a little research, but I think that that is
more than my Prius needs.
How fast does that tape move?
Maybe it also lights a few LEDs :-)
Does it also power some Pentium space heaters?
