It worked! I used it for about a hour and a half without the it tripping the breaker, thanks to everyone that tried to help out. I did wire it in the Mickey mouse way, just cause you like to do things a specific way doesn't mean I'll do the same. Fred just because you like to take it up the...

.....and yes that's the outlet, the 2 straight ones left and right on the picture is where the black and white wires off the compressor are gonna go to(hot wires) and the green one off the compressor is gonna go to the half circle the top one ground)

Thanks man

I would go with the bigger one, only problem is if you have to move to another shop the bigger boxes **** to move aorund

One last question pattenp theres a little green wire that's maybe 16 gauge that bolted to the bottom of the motor plate then to the switch im this is the ground wire. Now for the green thicker wire this is gonna be capped off meaning not used or does this go to one of the prongs on the 4 prong...

I knew I was gonna hear someone say something about that, only reason I got it was cause I could finance it. I'm only 19 years old and hard headed, i didn't feel like saving up for one and no one would help me with a sears or home depot card. After spending 1900 on the compressor its still...

The good thing about top brand boxes snap-on, mac, matco ect, a lot of there boxes you can buy add ons like a hutch, cabinets, side lockers ect. The only problem is be prepared to spend a lot of money on those the triple bays go for 8000 and up. My boss has about 25000 thousand invested just in...

I just looked inside the breaker box and the dryer runs off of 2 30 amp breakers, now do you think this will be safe? The compressor isn't gonna be running all the time maybe once or twice a week and not for longer then 10 minutes at a time. Also what would happen if I didnt run the neutral wire...

The power probe is one of the best tools that I have it checks for power, ground, voltage, and you can give something power or ground if its not getting anything. Perect example, say you have a bad fuel pump but don't know for sure it might be a broken wire or the relay or the fuse. Check for...

Whats up people I recently bought a snap on BRAC560v air compressor(don't bash me) and I wanna hook it up to to my dryer plug. The dryer plug has 4 prongs and 4 wires going to it, the air compressor only has 3 wires. This is the only 240 volt outlet in the house. The compressor is only gonna be...
