can you install multiple receptacles on a circuit? yes, provided the receptacles are rated for the circuit ampacity (dont put a 20a receptacle on a 30a circuit) (and the proper voltage). Should you overload the circuit by plugging both a compressor and welder in at the same time? No. Last, if the instruction manual for the equipment says it needs its own circuit then it does.
