Re: Air compressor help
I went ahead and ordered the coil you listed as well from Temco so I will have a back up contactor if I ever need one.

Re: Air compressor help
I got my compressor going with the 240V coil. I set it on 26 amps on my overload and it seems to start up best on 26. I am going to try and knock it down to 25 to see how it does. I thought I had some wires sparking inside my starter box but it was my motor right when it kicked on. I am using a 40 amp breaker and 8 gauge wire running from breaker box to contactor and from my overload to my motor, all other wires are 10 gauge. Seems to be working good so far. Just need to adjust my pressure switch to kick on and off. Thanks for all of the help.
