There are small houses that run on a hundred amps.

Yes, but houses do it on 10 to 20 times the voltage (120 volts, most panels are 240 volts) thus 10 to 20 times the wattage which is what really counts.
Thats why 6 volt electrical systems sucked so bad... Everything requires twice as much current to do the same work as in a 12 volt system.
That said, the current rating for the fan motors seems pretty excessive which is why I wondered if it wasn't the inrush current and not the running current.
