Actually Allen, you really are part of the discussion, but not in a bad way. You are one of the innocent victims seeking information, but getting misinformation in return, and that is why my ire was raised with these other postings. I was worried that you thought I was referring to you in my previous posting, so I am glad to know that you don’t think this.

Actually, the reason why I wanted to respond to your message is to confirm your findings as being valid. Even though a duty cycle of 1-minute on and 15-seconds off is not real-world for a compressor, it is bordering on a worse-case situation for loading a circuit. For that reason, you can be assured that your 30-amp breaker and wiring will suffice during real-world usage.
