I need some help. I am wireing a 7.5 Hp 80 Gal. Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor. I have run 6/3 to a 50A breaker. Where does the 2 hots and the Neuteral go in the magnetic starter box? Pictures would be great. I realy would appreciate any help.

Your compressor should use 2 hots and a ground. The neutral is not used. Just tape it off.

I figured it out this morning. What a brain fart i had last night! I had the neutral hooked to another neuteral lug and not the ground!! Man I feel dumb, I don't know what the hell I was think last night. But thank you for the help.
