Compressor watts, as function of discharge PSI
Can't remember if it was this list. The question was raised,
does compressor amperage decrease as pressure increases. I set up an informal test, using equipment on hand. Plugged in a Kill A Watt meter, and set it to read watts consumption. Plug in my 3 HP Harbor Freight pancake compressor. I turned on the compressor, and noted the reading as the pressure went from 0 PSI to 100 PSI. The readings are as follows: PSI -WATTS 10 - 198 20 - 199 30 - 211 40 - 220 50 - 229 60 - 233 70 - 237 80 - 240 90 - 255 95 - 248 (wasn't sure the compressor would make it to 100) 100 - 250 Hope the information is of some use to someone. If nothing else, it used a few minutes of my afternoon. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. |
