If you're seeing much higher than 11A power draw at 120V, check your power cable, make sure it's not getting warm. One unit drew 14A on an 18 gauge cable, causing the cable to get a little warmer than i was comfortable with. Switched to a 16 gauge cable and it dropped to 11A and the cable stays cool.

Might sound silly. How does the AWG of power cable impact how much it pulls? Will 14 AWG be even better and will pull lower than 11 A?
