I'm pretty sure the only motor in most NZ homes, being a temperate climate, is in the refrigerator Just a quibble - the article says that a 1/3 HP motor was using 180W. As a HP is (ideally) 746W that would make it a 1/4 HP and with heat losses you'd expect input W to be higher. Not picking on anyone, may not have been reported accurately ** Thank you Borat -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
