I have a PRT Alpha with a router and I want to upgrade to a spindle. I'm looking to get the Colombo 5HP but I'm not sure my electrical can handle it. I am having a 100 amp subpanel installed in my shop. In addition to the Shopbot controller and computer, I will have a 21 amp 220V dust collection system and a Fein vacuum.
I'm confused because I looked at the power requirements pdf:

from Shopbot and it says the the 5HP spindle needs a 220V 90 amp circuit (single phase) and the controller needs a 110V 30 amp circuit.
Then I called Shopbot and asked and they said I needed 220V 24 amps for the spindle and 110V 20 amps for the controller.
Can anyone let me know which is correct. I want to be sure before I call the electrician.
