11 amps for a 5 HP motor??? Steve it sounds like you've got a 0.5 HP motor there. At 48 volts times 11 amps= 528 watts divided by 760 watts per HP (528/760= 0.69 HP). You may want to check your numbers again. Who is the manufacturer?? _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
