I'm helping a friend do an annual on a plane this weekend, but hopefully I have some time in the evening to work on this compressor project. Thanks for all the help.
Thank you Charles. I think I will stick with the plug and receptacle though. It would be easier if I ever need to move the compressor. I will check the jumpers. I hadn't thought of that. I just assumed they were good.
Thank you pattenp. I thought I might need to replace the plug with a 20amp and go that route. I was at Lowes last night and they didn't have a GE 15 amp 2 pole. I asked and they said it isn't even in their inventory. I'll try Home Depot also before I go with the 20 amp.
To be clear, I can use...
Two years ago my uncle passed and I acquired this air compressor with the intent of eventually using it in my garage. I just got some funds together and now have a new breaker box in the garage with the 220 needed.
My questions are:
1. How many amp 220 breaker should I use? At the store today...
One of my coworkers has the same box. Has it packed full. Working in aircraft hangers we roll our boxes around a lot. He loves that box. Rolls good and has solid drawers.
