    Running an air compressor off a generator?
    I am trying to run a 220v air compressor using a gas powered generator. The outlet on the generator is a NEMA 18-30 4pole, 4wire.

    The air compressor has a 3 wire pigtail on it?

    How can I get this to work??

    What is the horsepower or running amps of the compressor, and not peak HP?

    What is the watts of the generator?
