I don’t think the 4hp is going to tell you much besides something to search for to look up other comparable shop vacs. 1hp is 745.7 watts, so 4hp is 2982.8 watts. 2982.8W/120V = 24.86A which would be crazy. I searched for a 4hp shop vac and found a porter cable one that advertises 960W.

I blew up old bucket-vac by putting a larger diameter hose on the intake. This raised the air flow and the amps it drew, and apparently tripped a one time thermal fuse about 9 minutes into a 12 minute job. So now I am adapting by 3d printing, all the plumbing to use a 5 gallon wet-r-dry as a
