I put the circuit on slightly bigger breakers and tried again. The

unloaders, based on what I hear when it starts, unloaders do work.


Will the motor take an empty tank up to desired pressure

Yes, if it starts, it pumps to 150 PSI and stops properly as directed
by the regulator.

w/o exceeding FLA rating motor? Is FLA inside your phase converters
capacity?

Yes, running is OK, but starting loaded is not.

If so, you need to look at unloader system.

If I could adjust it somehow to close valves not 2 seconds, but 5-10
seconds into the run, I think that I would be fine.
