Different nature of the autocascade beast, I guess. Used to lower statics, like, 100psi, in single stages.
What do you mean you wonder if the compressor can start without drawing too many amps? Haven't you run it already?

I shut it down, and watched its pressure build while also observing the temperatures of the stack TC's. When it got to nearly 0C and was just approaching 200 psig, I was satisfied that it was tracking with what I had estimated the additions should increase it by. When I get a chance today, I'll try a re-start and see what happens. I'll also verify what the warmed up BP is as well.
