Pick up my motor tomorrow, bad capacitor. Shop hit me 50 bucks, I bet it's a 10 dollar part but just happy it's nothing more serious.

Do you remember how much those cost to replace? Also, did it smell?

Pressure switch is only six months old, could still be broken though, when I tried to start it there was about 30 psi in the system. Correct 10-3, typo. Yeah, I have no clue.. learning as I go on this stuff. Distance from my basement breaker to the fused switch in the garage is about 50...

Motor spins freely, slight brushing noise. I have a breaker in the garage next to the unit so I bumped the power with the belt off the motor, it spins but seems to hum louder than before, and the smell comes back. I fear this is not going to be a cheap fix..... What exactly goes wrong in...

Never mind, forgot there was about 30 psi in the system. Compressor wheel spins pretty freely (probably same as before) and is moving air.

I agree, no power to this thing until I figure it out. I pulled the shroud and loosened the belt, motor spins free and easy. Compressor wheel does not turn as easily as I remembered (especially when in a compression stroke), i use to be able to spin by hand over and over, now getting...

I don't but could easily grab one. Would a bad breaker cause a smell? The smell from the motor has me spooked....

In a bind here and would really appreciate some guidance. I have an IR T30 80 gallon compressor with a WEG 184t frame 5HP single phase motor. I have been doing some light sandblasting with a 110lb pressure pot and the everything was going great but then it died. Its wired to a 30 amp cut/off...

Perfect! Thank you!!

So I found a pressure switch that can handle single phase 5hp but it's about the same price as a new mag starter for the unit. If I purchase a new starter can I reuse the existing pressure switch? The switch is a square D with 2-pole HP rating of 2hp at 230v single phase.

If I understand you correctly I can eliminate the mag starter and wire directly to an appropriate pressure switch? Will this one work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ingersoll-rand-pressure-switch-5-HP-/170795916739?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c43addc3#ht_500wt_1202 It appears to be rated for...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to wire a 1 phase motor on my compressor. It is an ingersoll rand T30 that came with a 3-phase 5hp motor. I have purchased a used single phase but am totally confused on the wiring. The compressor has a pressure switch and a magnetic...
