Sure it could. It could be 6 times the 5 A rating. But circuit breakers don't trip instantaneously on overloads. They are designed for this application. You will be fine. The manufacturer is just covering their butt so no one can ever say it was their fault for anything.Thanks, couldn't imagine why they'd make that suggestion unless there was a lot more running on the circuit, which won't happen in my little home shop.
The startup amperage couldn't be 3 times the 5 amp rating could it?

Cool, that explains what "time lag fuse" are then. ThanksSure it could. It could be 6 times the 5 A rating. But circuit breakers don't trip instantaneously on overloads.

At what RPM does the grinder run? You have a link to the spec's on this grinder?I bought my self a new Delta 8" 5 amp grinder.
should not be less than #12 wire and should be protected with a 20 Amp time lage fuse".
The plug on the grinder is a regular 15 amp style 3 bladed one, not the 20 amp plug.
Is their really a risk using a regular 15 amp circuit with 14 guage wire?
