How will a step-down transformer impact current in this situation?
I'm going to have an 8000 watt, 208V UPS installed. At full load, and rounding up slightly, this will require a 40 amp current from the wall/breaker.
The UPS then incorporates two step-down transformers to provide 120V power. I understand that at 120V, the two transformers (providing 4,000 watts each) will then require a total of 80 amps.
Do I need to plan for a circuit capable of 40 amps or 80 amps from the wall/breaker? Is the 80 amp load isolated within the UPS?
Hopefully this makes sense. I'm obviously not an electrician but am trying to get an idea of what all would be involved.
Thanks!

By breaking the surface tension, wouldn't this help the water absorb through the soil more quickly, preventing more surface water from running off?
