    1800 watts looks like 2.4hp, just for info.

        This is interesting, I wondered myself if the HP ratings on the vacs over there came from that, but that would mean a 5hp vac would be around 3600watts - drawing 30amps! I don't think this is correct and most of the 5hp vacs i've looked at the specs for over there are around 9 - 12 amps, which would be 1080 - 1440watts? Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

        If I am wrong, I truly will need a power hungry vac to get something around 5hp.

          I dunno... I just ran the conversion. Not sure about how the motor works.

            Useful Vacuum Info

            Just for info for anyone else in my situation, I found this page explaining which vacuum specs are important and how to cross-reference different ratings: http://www.ductedvacuumcentre.com.au...75&pageID=7177

            Here is a pressure calculator: http://www.sensorsone.co.uk/pressure...onversion.html

            Hopefully these will be of help to someone else outside of the states.

            Cheers.
