i have a 2.5hp 20 gallon Ingersoll-Rand that runs at 110v. i don't
know offhand what the amperage requirement is, but my garage is just
wired as a couple circuits on the main house box (15, maybe 20 amp?)
and i have not had a problem. btw, I-R makes really nice quality
compressors. i highly recommend taking a look at them. i got mine at
costco for about 2/3 the price of a comparable sears model. (i love
costco; i also got a 1/2" I-R impact wrench there for $35).
