I have been keeping my eye out for a nice compressor -- saw one that is bigger than I need -- but it may be a good buy.
But it has a 7.5 HP Baldor motor on it
Looks like a Baldor motor of that size uses 32.0 amps/leg at 220v
My default compressor has always been the IR 2 stage 5HP unit that many recommend - goes for around $1200.00. But with the economy the way it is I see a lot of larger units on the market for great prices. Plus I would like to do some sandblasting and that can take more air than the IR
My house has 200amp service feeding my shop with 100amp -- So I have the power - but I am wondering if everything in the house is going to flash when that motor kicks on. Anyone with experience with a 7.5 motor in the shop?
