Craftsman 2 hp Vertical Portable Tank Air Compressor, 33 gal. —
I bought this compressor because it was rated to suit the needs of a homeowner using it for mechanic work and other misc. homeowner applications. I set it up and let it go through the break in period as required and then began to let it cylce to the cut off point. I let it cycle once and then it started to trip my circuit breaker. I had it on a 15 amp circuit all throughout statup and breakin and it worked fine. It now continues to trip the breaker. I even tried it on a 20 amp circuit and it tripped that.
I see a similar post with this issue on this site. A technician is supposed to come out and take a look at it. It seems like the motor is drawing more amps than they claim in the owners manual.
Anyway, I hope it gets worked out. It is a little frustrating buying something new and immediately needing a tech to come out and look at it for repair.
