I can tell you that the current starting load for a 430 hp electric motor is substantial. Don't know if they are using a soft start or something equal it takes a lot of power to start a 430 hp electric motor. The amp requirements are huge, interesting concept, huge electric requirements. Bob

I think it would take almost 1 mg to start a 430 hp electric motor DOL. Huge power requirement.
