YOU'LL NEED A 22O VOLT OUTLET !

You need to use a separate circuit when using your compressor. I had an electrician come in and install a separate circuit so I could use mine. It cost $175.00.

I suppose the 220 volt circuit breaker that you have (2 - 110 v) is not large enough - probably need 40 amps. So the next question is how large of wire do you have going to the compresser plug back to the breaker box? You can't run a 5-8 hp compresser on small house wiring. Fix the wiring back to the breaker box & install the circuit breaker reccommended in your instruction papers.

That compressor is way overkill for simple house use. That thing is designed for commercial use. I deliver for Sears & I tell you that I have never delivered one at someones house before. You need to consult your electrician to see if it is pulling to many amps for your houses rating. There may also be some electrical codes that you didn't think of when it was installed. Codes as in building codes.

That's why I don't shop at Sears! First, return the compressor unless you are running a body shop. I have a 60 gallon compressor in my pole barn which I never use. Came with the house when I bought it. I use a simple portable 110v piston type to do all my mechanical work and lite body work.
