You might want to stop and think just a tad, here. Just for the record, the nominal voltage is now 240, not 220 but that is not an issue. Motor branch circuits are a different breed of branch circuit.
You have given us only one piece of valid information. A 30 amp circuit connected to a 50 amp receptacle for a cord and plug welder. Perfectly acceptable. This proposed compressor, does it require a 30 amp branch circuit using 240 volts? Motor circuits are not calculated the same way a general branch circuit is calculated. The breaker may be required to be quite a bit higher in amperage to allow for the "Start Inrush Amperage" needed by the motor. Also, a motor conductor is required to be sized at 125%. |
