The Uncompahgre Plateau and the West Elk Mountains have some great scenery and have some pretty remote areas.

Yep, that's what it says. I hear it's a way for the manufacturer to get around listing the "real" HP rating. Good to know! I think I am going to skip running a second wire to avoid running into any sort of second feeder issue. If I decide a shutoff in the shop is necessary I will look into...

Thanks for all the input everyone, it's looking like a small panel in the shed is the only way to go for what I want. Interesting, my motor plate doesn't have a hp rating on it, so I was working backwards from the NEC table and the amperage. They sure don't make these things obvious, do they?

It came with a 30A plug, but I am going to direct wire it, with a disconnect. I was referring to the FLA multiplier for wire gauge, which I understand is 1.25x FLA. Per the motor plate, it is rated at 15A Yeah, good point, just because I know not to mess with a circuit without verifying it's...

Thanks for all the input! :D It never hurts to know why you shouldn't do something! I was hoping someone would have a NEC reference, because I haven't been able to find anything. A relay is a pretty good idea, I can think of a number of 120v controllers that could run a relay, like the x10...
