Next time I get access to the equipment I want to get the starter data to compare.
This is the motor data:
http://www.markhellerelectric.com/motordata.htm In-rush is roughly 650+A, with possible larger spikes that I cant see. (About 10 seconds at start, and is the source of the rattle and VD at the disco is 185V from 208V a little too much IMO) operating amperage is roughly 160A - 180A (which I think is high, seeing that the elevator was empty)
I checked VD at start-up of this elevator at my TI panels, which go out of a different section of the same main, and they only drop 1 volt. Not that it doesn't mean there is not other distortions.
