[Shotimes] [OT] Air compressor blowing fuses

[Ron Porter]

If it previously ran on that circuit, get a new breaker. They do weaken over
time (had this situation with my central a/c).

If that's not it, the compressor probably has an issue.

If it's a new compressor, check the power rating....20 amps may not be
enough for the startup.

While we're talking tools...
 
My big Craftsman air compressor is blowing fuses in my home when I turn it
on.
 
It happens so fast I can't hear the compressor start to turn over.
 
I've tried it on two different 20A circuits.
 
Any suggestions (other than to drag it to Sears service)?
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
