Not sure but it should be big. That low of pressure won't even kick on the compressor for quite a while.

Staff Answer
This compressor may be wired in 120 or 240 volt. The performance will be the same with either voltage. Please note that when wired in 120 volt this item will draw 20 Amps. When wired in 240 Volt it will draw 10 amps. This makes no difference in electrical cost because electricity is typically bill by kilowatt hours. The wattage is the same when wired in 120 or 240. Volts x Amps = Watts. By purchasing a unit that has the ability to be wired in 120 or 240 volt you will have the option to install this unit according to the wiring and electrical capacity that you have available.

answer 2
The advantage to 220V is lower current in the supply wires, so you can use smaller wires. Usually the same size wire is used to wire everything in a house, though, so you end up with a very small efficiency gain - the same resistance in the wires at lower current results in a lower voltage drop.

For this air compressor, there's not much advantage either way. Use what you have available.

Staff Answer
The cold weather will only effect the oil in the pump. If the air compressor is running in temps under 40 degrees use a 15 weight oil. If the air temp is going to stay well below freezing for days on end, and your going to be using it, try using a 5 weight oil. Remember to dump excess water so it does not freeze in the tank or hose.

answer 2
Mine has worked well in a 30 degree F garage using the oil supplied in the compressor. Replacing the oil with synthetic lubricant (available at Northern) would be a good idea for long compressor life in this environment.
