We have been operating a high power energy recovery linac (ERL) at Jefferson Lab for several years. In the process we have learned quite a bit about both technical and physics limitations in high power ERLs. Several groups are now considering new ERLs that greatly increase either the energy, the current or both. We will present some of our findings on what to consider when designing, building, and operating a high power ERL. These include space charge effects, halo, magnetic field quality, RF stability, short bunch formation, coherent synchrotron radiation and it effect on the beam, beam breakup instabilities, higher order mode production, and diagnostic requirements.
