    It was in reply to one of my posts that was stated thats about 2/3 of horsepower to copper ratio. I had some llarge 200 - 300 460 motors, I was supposed to buy, but never got a phone call back on them. The dude stated it in one of the reply's. Search my name and yall shall see.!

    Hmmm I have to wonder if 2/3 is accurate. I did a 1.5 horse the other day and got just over 4 pounds. That gives a factor of 2.667 pounds per HP. I'm sure that won't work of those big monsters, they'll be 3 phase and 600 volts.
