When running on single phase, I would reccomend an output governor on
the compressor rather than a pressure switch. Single phase motors don't
really like being asked to start more than 4 times per hour. I put in a
little eletronic gizmo that displays electrical consumption when the
shop was rewired about 4 years ago. The pressure switch was dumped
about 2 years ago. I haven't noticed a significant increase in
consumption, even though the compressor use hasn't changed.
Cheers, Scruff.

Hi Guys, I hope you can help me. I've managed to get a hold of acompressor
with a busted motor. I already have a motor to fit to it, but don't knowif
I need a starter also. It is a Brook Crompton ED90LD single phase which IThe motor should have a centrifugal switch internally to switch the starting
think is capacitor start induction run. It has a large capacitor on the
side. Any ideas.
Thanks

capacitor into circuit during start up.
Depending on your compressor, you may need a contactor to turn the motor on
and off as dictated by the pressure switch.
Find the pressure switch and see what current it is rated at.
Looking at the exisitng wiring may help unless this information has been
lost when the old motor was removed.
