1. Re: Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: Jim Juhas <james.f.juhas@snet.net>; Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2000 11:12:30 -0400; I also thank you for your comments, and I will save them for future reference as well. One more reliable factor that can be used in comparing specific compressors is the SCFM rating. I have noticed; /html/shop-talk/2000-08/msg00000.html (6,462 bytes)
2. Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: "William M. Gilroy" <wmgilroy@lucent.com>; Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 09:16:37 -0400; I am shopping for an air compress and I was wondering what kind of electric circuit I need to run. If the compressor has the specs of 4.5 HP 120 volt/15 amp operation Does that mean: 1) The compresso; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00030.html (7,441 bytes)
3. Re: Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: "Mordy Dunst" <gasket.works@gte.net>; Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 06:59:45 -0500; The best way to know how much current the compressor needs is to check its draw when it first starts.. and when it is running. You may find that the current draw at start-up is higher than that rated; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00031.html (8,015 bytes)
4. Re: Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: Mike Sloane <msloane@att.net>; Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 10:24:58 -0400; You are correct in that a regular 15 amp circuit should do the job. But keep in mind that when the compressor starts up, it may draw something close to the full 15 amps, so it would be a good idea to; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00032.html (8,484 bytes)

Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: Brian Borgstede <borgstede@umsl.edu>; Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 09:29:22 -0600; If you need to run a new line from the breaker box, run the 12 guage and use a 20 amp breaker. That's what I did. I use that circuit for my compressor or my MIG Welder (also 120V.) I will soon run a; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00033.html (8,210 bytes)

Re: Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: Randall <randallyoung@earthlink.net>; Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 07:39:25 -0700; IMO They're lying about the horsepower, so they're probably lying about the power as well. I'd at least go for the 20 amp circuit. If you are running a new circuit, I'd suggest running 220v @ 25 amp; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00034.html (8,501 bytes)
7. Re: Air compressor electric circuit (score: 1): Author: Douglas Shook <shook@usc.edu>; Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 11:01:04 -0700; This "horsepower inflation" really needs to be reigned in. A few years ago, we started seeing 15 amp @220VAC compressors being rated at 5HP, then 6HP and now I see them rated at 6.5 HP. As Randall br; /html/shop-talk/2000-07/msg00036.html (11,016 bytes)
