I know about as much about those magnets as I know how to crochet. Meaning not much. The local salvage yard I take scrap to has a track hoe with a four jaw claw for picking up the big stuff. When they want to pick up small steel they pick a magnet up with a chain in the middle of the claw and plug in the magnet. Last time I was there a guy was wiring a new plug on the magnet end of the cord while the track hoe claw was swing around him picking up steel. He didn't seem one bit alarmed about potentially being wiped off the map. Anyway the cord he was handling was big and it looked like a four wire plug that was bigger than fifty amps. When he got the plug wired the claw swung over his head and dropped down and he hooked up the chain to the claw. He plugged in the magnet, draped the cord up on something, gave the plug a twist to lock it and just as he was turning away a big white flash of electricity came out of the plug. The man didn't even flinch, he just got out of the way and the track hoe went to work picking up steel with the magnet. That white ball of fire told me there was some serious juice going through that plug. Going on what I saw there I have a hunch you will need some serious generating capacity to run one up to capacity.
