How many amps does the compressor use?

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.

yah 14 to 15 dont even try to use it with anything less than a 12 guage wire and 50ft extension cord. if you have anything else on that circuit it will just pop the circuit

The motor's listed spec max is 14 as stated on page 15 here: http://www.senco.com/Documents/Manuals/PC1131_MAN.pdf

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..

I used my air compressor that I have in my garage. I set the pressure to 25 psi to not create too much pressure.

The compressor is designed to run on 12-volt DC and comes with clamps to attach to a standard 12-volt battery. It works very well, but I don't think you could operate it with a reasonable sized transformer. I suspect the amp load is fairly high. Hope this helps.

Mine was a 120 VAC unit. Connected in a 15 amp circuit. No problems with electrical overload. It is the quietest and smoothest compressor in this size range I have ever owed. A joy to use.

Dear friend, I believe it is a compressor 3 to 6 AMPS, This is a cut in pressure switch operating On when pressure drops below 90 psi to 100 psi it cuts in and over 120- it cuts offif it is in the above range and single phase you can use on your present compressoe _

How many amps does your compressor pull? It may be too many for such a small inverter.

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.

You should probably use a 20 amp circuit. The cord on the compressor is not very long so get an extension cord that will reach the distance you need to cover. Remember, the longer the cord, the heavier gauge it needs to be to do the job correctly

I'm just using a Porter cable pancake compressor 2hp 6 gal, and it works great!

Also look at the ratings for the compressor if if is less than 1 amp it might work, but I really do not think so as there would also be a surge as the compressor started.

The CFM of this compressor is O.8CFM @ 90 psi. Use is best for filling tire pressure etc. not for heavy use such as spray painting.

130-150psi... below that, most 120psi compressors would pop it and it wouldn't be useful.

Don't no the answer to the cfm question, but I run my air compressor at 100psi.

its 500mA but it was nearly as cheep to buy a new compressor as replace the ac adapter

What you mean is "How many amps does it need to start the compressor?" Ours is plugged into an ordinary 15amp house hold circuit and doesn't trip any circuit breakers, although the lamp on the same circuit flickers each time it cranks on.

Short answer is yes any compressor, don't know if 2hp is enough for continuous operation, worst case you have to wait while it pumps up, or add extra volume in the system. Works good otherwise.

What type of load are you attempting to power ( welder , 1hp compressor, etc) ?
