	In theory 134hp. BUT it's got to be de-rated for starting loads, power factor, etc. Is it one drive or multiple smaller drives? __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

	Amps = kva × 1000/(volts × √3). The horsepower it can carry depends on the size of the largest motor and its starting method, as well as the total horsepower of all the motors and other loads that might be involved. There are many possibilities, so you need to provide more info. __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	How did you arrive at 126A? We don't know the voltage! __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
