Compressor -- the pump is likely 7.5 HP as Wayne said
I measured the AC current going to the motor. The current was 33
amp. The motor is rated at 25 amp.
Do you hear the starting switch opening after startup? Or clicking
closed after shutdown. Removing the load by removing the bely will
make the atarting switch easier to hear. At the current readings you
report there is a strong probability that the starting circuit and/or
running winding has a problem.
