What size breaker did you use for the plug ? I have the husky red 60 gallon. It says 15 amp on the tank I’m just curious ! I’m about to do the same installation thanks for the video

@ThrownSparksGarage

So my breaker is a little oversized because I weld off of the same circuit. Which isn’t ideal for the compressor because it will allow it to draw more current before tripping but that’s the risk I’m taking with using a 30 amp breaker. If this is a dedicated circuit for the air compressor I would size it based on the recommendation for the air compressor.

I would double check the oil level and the switch on top, my switch was a little finicky at first and I needed to adjust how I wired it together. Also maybe check your breaker to ensure it’s sized properly and your input power as well.

Hi friend could you share a photo of the internal connection of the motor to know how the cables go, I would appreciate it regards!

So how do you wire that? Is that 2 hots and ground on a 2 pole breaker or hot neutral and ground 1 pole breaker? I just bought this compressor

It’ll be a 2 pole breaker since it needs 240v input power and I used a power cable for an old welder to hook it up (green, white, and black).
