Good Lord, starting current of 64 amps at 115 volts? Most 15 amp breakers

Those little one-horse compressors that run on a 15-amp
circuit probably aren't really one horsepower as we know it. More
marketing hype. They might be basing the 1-hp thing on starting
current or some similar sleight-of-hand.
