I have a 3 wire 220v 2hp motor system on my compressor, will this work with it? Does the electrical have 6 lugs / 3 in and 3 out for power hook up?

No, it has two lugs. You take one hot from the motor, to the switch and bring that hot back to the motor, allowing the switch to start and stop the motor based on pressure settings.

My compressor is also 220 volt, with a 2 HP motor, 3 wires in, 3 wires out. It should work fine.

Couldn't tell you..mine was DOA out of the box. Sent it back and went over to Home Depot and purchased this Porter Cable unit and couldn't be happier: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-3-5-Gal-135-psi-Pancake-Compressor-PCFP02003/203254365?N=5yc1vZc27pZ68y Stay away from this piece of garbage.

I use a pancake compressor......I think it might be 3/4hp, and it works fine.

It should work just fine since it will handle 40 amps per pole. I am running a 220/240 volt motor with 20 amps per pole, 40 amps total. 6 amps will not be much of a draw, so you will not be stressing it at all.

these guys dont know what theykre talking about. i used it for a similar motor. a "ust" generator. most 6.5 hp motors are universal. it SHOULD work.

You might check your ground wire to make sure it is still good and try again with direct 12v again. If nothing, ck with ohm meter to see if there is any ohms across the two wires. If nothing there, replace the compressor. Good luck.

I use them on 240V AC compressors. No problems yet. Comparing the quality to other brands I can see no difference.You should be able to run any voltage up to 600V through these as long as the solenoid voltage is 24V DC.

It will work, yes. I'd still try to source the correct OE size for that compressor though.

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.

Yes, as long as you do not exceed the amp rating of the switch. I put the switch on a 3 HP compressor and it works great. Mine isn't a Craftsman but the HP and AMP ratings are similar on most motors.

I imagine that main switch has 220V 3 phase + a neutral, you need to clamp only the 2 hot wires that feed the 110v to your motorhome.

It draws 14 amps, so it will work from just about any outlet w/o tripping the house breakers. I used my compressor in virtually every room in my house, while installing 3/4" hardwood flooring (very demanding task for any portable compressor) and never had an issue. This has been a great little workhorse for all my DIY projects and have never had an issue, sans a very rare thermal trip breaker on the compressor when I get a little too demanding. It's a safety feature so you don't overheat the motor. It's a cinch to reset though. Hope this helps.

Well shucks, I don't know and it was not specified. I bought it for my uncle and it is a direct replacement on his air compressor which has a 5 horse motor on it. It is exactly like mine too which has a 6 horse motor. Six horses at 745 watts per horse is 4470 watts divided by 220 v comes to 20.32 amps, I think? It will handle AT LEAST that load with no problems anyhow. My uncle's failed due to an air leak, not due to an electrical problem.

The short answer is yes, but some assumptions have to be made. Your compressor is probably in a 3 ton unit, which means that the motor will start and run with a 40MFD capacitor. And the capacitor mounting is a simple loop strap. There are ways of testing your old capacitor, which you might want to do if you are trouble shooting and are not sure if the capacitor is bad. On the other hand, if you replace the capacitor and symptoms do not change, you now have a spare.

ok thanks, anyway should be alot better than the three liter compressor i bought and it went bad, off ebay, sticking with Amazon now

If you are not familiar with electric work, then please don't attempt. Hayward motor probably works with 220V. 220 is a killer. When you remove the screw covering the terminals, you will see Line-in terminals and Motor-out terminals. If I remember correctly, the connection diagram is attached to the door or included in the instruction book.

I have the 3 hp motor. It runs on 220 volts and utilizes a 30amp plug. My electrician installed 20 amp breakers and I have had no problems.Unfortunately, there is nothing in the manual that covers this.
