Hammer n4400

[Fraseman999]

Hi Folks,
my apologies if this has been posted already. The n4400 bandsaw is advertised as being a 16amp machine. Got it all wired up today with a proper 20 amp breaker on the blue plugs.
Every 3 startups it pops the breaker. Now I have plenty spares and think I'm going to have to try it on a 32 amp breaker. I assume it's power hungry on start up.
Does anyone have any experience on this bandsaw. And what size of breaker do you have?
Thanks Folks

I've had no problems with a 16 amp supply - although I was told that they ran off 13 amp by one of the reps!!

What is the power rating of the supply to the breaker box ?

Is it big enough ?
