Staff Answer
The full load amp draw on this compressor is 21.5 amps. Amps x Volts = Watts, so this would be just under 5,000 watts.

The specs printed on the motor are listed as 230V/ 21.5 amps. I talked to the IR tech support folks and they recommend a dedicated 60 amp circuit and 10 guage wire. Hard wire the compressor - no plugs. Also, I'd get the start up kit. The price may seem a little steep but IR will extend the warranty on the compressor by a year if you use the start up kit.

I installed mine on a 30 amp breaker. With an amp meter installed on line you will find that it runs at about 17-18 amps but takes about 22-25 to start.

Noise level is not bad in shop. The thing that impressed me was the recovery time while using airtools. My son and I were using 2 air wrenches on two separate hoses, the compressor still is able to keep up and shut off. Noise is nothing for about 6 out of 10 minutes for our use.

Staff Answer
The Ingersoll Rand Electric Stationary Air Compressor would not work in that small of an enclosed space. You would want approximately 1000 cubic feet of ventilation around the unit, with at least 18-24" of clearance from the back of the unit, which draws most of the air.

Staff Answer
Ingersoll Rand does not have a CFM rating for this compressor at 100 PSI. Raising the PSI by only 10, is likely to have little effect, you should still expect at least 18 CFM at 100 PSI.
