Changing the motor on an air compressor
I recently purchased a 5hp 80 gallon compressor, but it runs on three phase power. I do not have three phase at my house. I was able to find a single phase motor of the same horsepower and specs as the three phase. The mag starter that came with the compressor was wired for three phase. How can I wire the new single phase through the three phase starter, and where does the pressure switch wire in?
