I believe the IR type 30, mod 255 pump is rated for a 3-5 hp motor, but i am assuming it should be 3 phase.

I think this compressor was meant to be run on a 3 phase motor, not a single phase. I dont think i can go any smaller for the motor pulley ( smallest one from applied industrial technologies), so i am going to lower the cut off pressure down from 130 psi to 110 psi and check the amperage.

I replaced the bearings and the caps are still good. The cut off pressure is set at 130 psi and the cut in pressure 100 psi. I think the only thing i can do without going to a 7.5 hp motor and spending a bundle, is to drop the cut off pressure....dont you think?

What is a vacuum pump? Yes, i am sure.

I have an IR pump t30 255 being driven by a 5hp 230 volt single phase motor. The motor is drawing 30-35 amps at max load. The motor is only rated for 26 amps. I decreased thew size of the motor pulley down to 3 1/4". The compresser pump was rebuilt. If i decrease the size of the pump pulley...

can you send me the link to the wiring diagram because i too am having issues. thanx
