J. Phil Thien's Projects

There's a duct collector with a 1.5 HP induction motor, 1200 CFM and 110V - 16A.

I have a question about the 110V - 16 Amps. What happens when you plug in 16 Amps when the residential house is rated for 15 Amps?

Harbor Freight's 8" Portable Ventilator from Chicago Electric.

This is rated from 1400 to 1574 CFM.

Could I use this as a blower between the tophat Thien design (on a drum barrel) and the Farr 9L300NANO cartridge filters?

Most blowers look like a snail but what about an in-line blower? With a blower between the tophat Thien design and the cartridge filters, it would be blowing air since all the dust (theoretically) should be in the drum barrel. If anything gets through, it will be particulate dust that will be captured by the Farr 9L300NANO cartridge filters.

Thanks in advance for your insight and feedback,
Michael
