Sounds like the soil is not strong enough to support the load. The proper solution would be to trench down far enough to reach a strong enough substrate, pour footings to support the structure, and

I would hope that you really have 220/230 in your shop. 208 is actually found as the odd leg to neutral on a three-phase system, with 110/120 to neutral on the other two legs (and 220/230 from phase

Not at all. I've done a _lot_ of three-phase work. The only time you will find 208 phase-to-phase is in a "208-wye-120" system, where there is indeed three phases of 208 phase-to-phase, but also thre

208 is brownout conditions for a 230 volt motor. I saw another post suggesting that the compressor won't be working as hard, but you also must remember that at 9000 ft, the cooling ability of the ai

No apology sought from you. Single phase can be tapped from any pair of wires in a three phase system, as long as the voltage is right. You do need to know (or someone needs to know) where the syste

Hi Kim. I think I've caught up with all the email about this issue. You should be able to find a single-phase compressor suitable for 208 volt service. I'll try to take a look around tomorrow to see
