If it's only 200 psi, why do you need 2 20 amp circuits?

The 2 Airwatt 6.6 vacuum motors require dual power cords.

I understand that but it should run on 2 15 amp circuits. The 6.6's run at 13.8 amps or less each. The 200 psi pump should be less than 1.5 amps. When the hoses are connected, the cord with the pump and vac motor should be under 15 amps and the other cord with a single vac will definitely be under 15 amps. I think saying 2-20 amp circuits would scare off prospective buyers. Maybe that rating was for a more powerful version? Like a 500 psi pump with an apo?

It’s always better to err on the side of caution. And in this case, the amp requirements may be slightly overstated. Under ideal conditions two 15 amp circuits will likely get the job done fine. But 20 amps gives you a little wiggle room. After all, a lot of times there are other appliances pulling juice elsewhere on the circuit.
