Hi Bob and all

Most manufacturers will install large enough motors with a safety  
margin so that their machines get past the warranty period without  
claims. In addition to Bob's advice on heavier wiring, I would  
suggest running your motors at 240V instead of 120V as the current is  
half.  Many motors are designed for use at either voltage by changing  
connections in the motor.  The wiring in the building can be reused   
at the higher voltage by having an electrician install a 2 pole  
breaker in your panel  and reconnecting the conductors.
