Questions & Answers
Does it plug in, or can it be hard-wired?
You can get an Electrician to hard drive it in.
What's the thickness of the tank?
How many hours- with proper maintenance- is this unit good for?
It depends on the use on the compressor itself. We have had people who have had this unit for years without any issues, and I have had people who have had it a couple of months who blew a pump. The real issue is not over working the compressor.
What is the duty cycle of this compressor?
This unit has a 50% Duty on run time.
Why does compressor not shut off

I have a maxair premium Model # C4160VI pump #PV02A 5 hp. rated 15 amp .my question is how large of breaker can I install as it keeps kicking out with a 15 amp breaker at high pressure
There are two things that you need to consider here. The first is the gauge of wire that is powering the compressor. Second, if the compressor is rated at 15 amps, then you would use at least a 20 amp breaker and 12 gauge wire with nothing else on this circuit! If you use this compressor a lot, I would personally run 10 gauge wire and a 25 amp breaker especially if the run from the fuse box to the compressor is long.
If your existing wire in this circuit is #14 AWG copper you CANNOT safely protect it with anything larger than a 15 amp breaker. If your existing wire is #12 AWG copper you may safely replace it with a 20 amp breaker. I would suggest feeding it with #10 AWG copper and using a 30 amp breaker which is what the wire is rated for per the NEC.. In both cases this needs to be a dedicated circuit with nothing else being used on it, at least not while using the compressor.
can I increase the breaker to 20 amp as the 15 amp kicks out when it trys to start under high pressure. or better yet what is the recommended amp breaker for this unit
If your circuit wire size is #12 AWG copper, you may up your breaker size to no more than a 20 amp breaker. People sometimes get confused with breaker size. The breaker is not to protect the tool being used, it is to protect the wire in the circuit so that it trips at the panel before it overheats and causes a fire in the wall. Any large user of Current (amperage), such as this, has it's on thermal overload protection which will trip if the unit overheats or draws too much current for an extended period of time. The breaker is probably tripping on startup (inrush) when the motor sees the most resistance. It will be even worse when the compressor cycles as the motor is starting with some built up air pressure that is already in the tank making it have to work even harder to get started. Add in cold weather where the oil in the compressor is cold and thick and it will draw even more amperage until the compressor runs for a while and warms up the oil. I would wire the circuit feeding this with #10 awg copper, preferably stranded wire. I would protect the circuit with a 30 amp breaker which is what #10 wire is rated for per the NEC.I would make this a dedicated circuit and not run anything else off of it. If you keep tripping your breaker it is not okay to simply reset the breaker. A breaker gets weaker the more times it trips and may not protect your wiring when you need it to.A breaker is not designed to be a convenience for a poor wiring circuit. Two trips and you need to be doing something different and I would replace the circuit breaker once I come up with the correct circuit. Good luck!
This product is rated at 23 amps.
Wondering the rpm of the motor, longevity concerns if it runs faster to get the higher cfm
3450 US motor modt63bvcyz-1573 cont. duty. 220 single ph. I even changed the motor pulley dia, from 3 .75to 2.75 to let the motor work less. changed the belt also to a notched one that has more flex.
