Comment on A 100mph basketball hoop you can't miss a shot inparent

These motors won't be at full power for more than 100 milliseconds at a time anyway. It's fine to overload regular outlets by 10x for 100ms - and the specs of breakers even specifically allow for this use case.

Big appliances like air conditioners, especially old non-inverter ones, will usually do that.
