Would this generator power a 1hp air compressor?

I'm sure it would. For how long I don't know. This is a great little generator. I recommend buying it. I haven't had any problems with mine. I do suggest changing the generic spark it comes with out to a better small engine plug. Mine always starts on about the third pull.

Yes it will I use it as well on my 1.5hp air compressor. This little guy is great, no issues.

Sorry can't help you. I researched this generator for possible use for emergency backup power for my house. I found little info on the web or no assistance from the company (which was hard to locate) on particulars for this item. As a result I didn't purchase. It didn't look like a quality piece of equipment. Good luck with your unit.

It depends on the amount of amps that the compressor draws. I doubt it would run an industrial compressor but I have a smaller home shop size compressor that it will run with no problem.

I purchased this to run a heavy duty power inverter from battery, and am pleased with the product. It should be able to operate your compressor (max current 15A for both this and the compressor).

I use a 1.5 HP pump. I am not certain of a min. pump spec, but feel certain that 1HP would be sufficient, also.

Look at the watts your compressor consumes. It must be 1500 or less watt. This inverter only achieves 110-120 volts.It doesn´t work with appliances more than that. You need DC cables to conect to the battery.

Yes it would, compressor cycle start will surge to about 2400 watts that does not leave much room for lights or anything else

Not for sure the amp capacity of the switch or your compressor, otherwise it will work

It should have no problem if it draws less than 20 amps. I use my generator at times to run a similar unit and have power to spare on my camper. I think mine has a start up of 14 amps and settles in around 12 amps.

This is a 230 volt AC. As long as generator supports this output then it should work. I would consult generator manufacturer for the details prior to ordering

I've used mine on job sites but you need a dedicated 29 Amp circuit for it.If your converting power and need an inverter I'd try to find a compressor that dies not draw so many amps cayse it will take quite a bit of start up amps from your power source

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).

I would guess the answer to be "yes", providing the compressor in the unit fits within the parameters of the battery output. The surge (the required kick-over amperage) is key, but once running, these batteries should be able to sustain the function of the compressor depending (again) its running demand. I assume you would be using a 1250 watt (or more) inverter to convert the DC to AC but at this point I am guessing what your requirements are.

1/4 hp is only about 190 W. So, it might be able to power one...but I wouldn't expect you to be able to achieve a very fast speed. 1W = N(m/s). You'd probably want something in the multiple-horsepower range.Also, what the other comments said about it being an AC motor.

Shouldn't be a problem, keep in mind that it has a single 120v single phase plug rated at 15a. So you'll to know what your generator output or indoor load will be...

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

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.
