How many maximum amps does this draw when the compressor is on.
1418026
The maximum start up amps would be 15 - according to the plug. Although it probably uses only 8 amps. When the compressor is running about 3-4 amps according to our electrician.

This unit is strictly a 12 volt DC powered compressor. If you wish to use this on house current, you will need to use a 12 volt DC power supply which could handle the required amperage. I would suggest a small car or lawn mower battery of at least 100 ampere capacity. Put a trickle charger on it and you would good to go. Most of these battery powered compressors will draw considerable current during operation and they will get hot so be sure to take care when operating and keep the compressor clear of any combustible items.

I haven't checked the gauge myself. The fuse itself is much smaller wire, so it will blow before the cable has a problem. The most current pulled is when the compressor starts up, which is only a brief time, and the cable is air cooled, so it doesn't have to be de-rated. I've used my compressor for many years with no problems.

Not exactly sure how many amps it pulls.. But I can tell you most air compressors this style draw a lot, and this one is no different.. It helps these little units a lot to run synthetic oil..

This compressor runs at the limit of a typical household circuit capacity. A 20 Amp circuit is the proper one. Some people have damaged this same model compressor when using even short extension cords. So, be careful. It needs to receive a full 120 volts in order to start and run properly. Amclaussen.

I don't think it will work for that air compressor since this is rated at 6 amp output while those compressors can easily need 10-15 amps. I'm not sure of the shipping issues (I'm not a seller).

Depends on the total wattage draw. A fridge is typically 800-1200 and will peak when the compressor kicks on. Air conditioners will draw a lot of power when they kick on as well. I wouldn't expect to run both at the same time on a 2400 watt continuous and 3200 peak model.

I didn't check the amps but I hooked it up and it got pretty hot so I assume it pulls a lot. I never used it because I thought it would kill my battery.

No it won't. Your air compressor is running about 1200 Watts...multiply the volts times the amps to get the watts...so this 375 watt unit is not large enough.

As much as I know, modern large refrigerators don't ever draw more than a few amps, perhaps as many as 6 amps for a second or two when the compressor first kicks in. I believe the 15 amps the question refers to is minimum circuit size which includes the circuit breaker and all the wiring from the circuit box to and including the outlet box the refrigerator plugs into. Running small motors like compressors with less than a 15 amp circuit can at start-up cause a voltage drop that can lead to damage to the motor. Something is horribly wrong if your refrigerator ever draws more than 10 amps, no matter how old or inefficient it is.

If you expect to run the buffer continously, you'll need a 5 HP, 2-stage electric compressor. For gas, more like 8 HP 2-stage. You might be able to get away with a little smaller unit, but it will get hot from being overworked.

if you have a separate potential relay and a start capacitor with bleed off resistor, then you have the best solution. make sure capacitor is matched to your compressor requirements,

According to my ampacity tables the absolute max is 15 Amps, however I wouldn't push more than 10 Amps total at 12 Volts DC.

The compressor has a regulator that allows you to control the output pressure between 0 and the max compressor pressure. If you look at the picture of the compressor it shows two guages, one is the tank pressure and the other is the regulated pressure. Hope this helps.

I am using this pressure switch on my 220v 60gal compressor, not sure how many amps the motor is rated for though.

The official Airhead.com website also says it draws 28 amps. I can't believe that, but I have it drawing off my Suburban battery, so I don't care. The copper connectors are no way gauged for 28 amps. Either way if it is 2.8 amps or 28, it is the BEST inflator out there!

If the 15 amp device is something big to start, It will not.I cant use my 15 amp compressor (Ridgid) using this 3500 W Champion Generator.
