You don't even hear the motor attempt to start - rather, the power trips without a sound from the compressor (and I'm now sitting in the dark.) However, when it comes time to restart the motor / refill the tank (let's say 10min later), the 15A breaker immediately trips (normally, I never trip any breaker in the house.) Which kills everything, including the ceiling light (which is a very low-consumption CFL).Īs a test, I unplugged everything except the compressor from the wall outlets the only things on the circuit were it, the garage door opener (no light bulbs active on the control head), and the ceiling CFL. Big improvement there, over my old smaller compressor. I can then use the rattle gun, and the tank has enough capacity to not immediately need to kick the motor back on / refill the tank. When I first start the compressor, it fills up without issue, kicks off the motor, etc.

In theory, should be enough to crack the crank bolt on the 6.0L Sierra, etc. SCFM is 6.2 90psi, and it is rated for 135psi max. FWIW, it was mfg'd by Devilbiss (I can see the certification plate on the side).
Bluex xterra build thread manual#
The 'new' compressor is a Craftsman 32gal upright (single stage, air cooled), and while the power cord is pretty thick, it was engineered for 110VAC (factory plug / cord.) The similar owner's manual (that I found online) states that it should run on 15amp service, but it might take 'all' the voltage on the circuit to run it. Built in 2003, so we're talking up-to-date wiring, etc. Unfortunately, everything in the garage is on one circuit (ceiling light, garage door opener outlet in ceiling, and the (2) duplex GFCI on opposite walls) The house does have 200A service, with a 40-40 box, so there's room to expand (I thought ahead, but not 'sufficiently' ahead, obviously). I'm not spending that kind of money, and my garage does not have a 220 outlet, nor am I going to have one put in.įor the record, my garage outlets are GFCI (per code, I suppose). Now, I've done enough research to know (?) that a 'real' (usable) compressor is a two-stage that runs on 220VAC. And I'm hoping there's someone on the board that's proficient with home electrical loads. Rather, this is about my continued trials / tribulations with using garage air compressors / tools.

Ok - first off, this is not about air suspension for the Envoy - I have coil springs in the rear.
