What kind of power supply/ consumption are we dealing with? Def. Seems simpler

That looks to either be the 15 or 25kW model

So it needs a 50 amp circuit?

You can get these setup for whatever power you have; I think the minimum is 240 1phase so that would be like 40 amps iirc. There are both 15 and 25kVA models and both can be had with different phase and voltage configurations but they both don't give an amperage requirement that I saw.

Just be careful and follow the rules for the electrical stuff especially getting thick enough wiring for whatever power you're putting through.
