Does it have separate compressors on tank?. You probably need to adjust cut in and cut out pressure switch. I have seen several air delivery systems that utilize 2 separate compressors, this allowed a backup if the one online failed. The units had unloader valves and the compressor never stops running. A call for air pressure would close unloader valves and unit would pump up and the the valves would unload.

it will need flushing the oil we use in reciprcating compressors is 2100

Probably a faulty non return check valve, when the unit reaches pressure air in the delivery pipe is vented down at the pressure switch. If the check valve is passing back this will cause the unit to try to start against a pressure causing it to pull high amps and trip. If there is a constant hiss coming from the pressure switch when the unit stops it will be the non return valve. There should be a short hiss of air when units stops If there is no hiss at all when the unit stops it could be a faulty pressure switch. If it is a quick fix would be to create a small leak on the delivery pipe to vent the line down.

the torque must use is 75ftlbs. that is for the air head. hope can help.

IF YOUR PRETTY SURE DRAW A CAPACITOR WIRING DIAGRAM AND THEN TAKE YOUR CAPACITORS TO ANY MOTOR SHOP OR SUPPLY HOUSE LIKE WW GRAINGER. THEY CAN CHECK THE MICROFARRADS OR UNIFARRADS OF YOUR CAPACITORS. YOUR START CAPACITORS HAVE THE LARGER MF OR UF RATING AND ARE TYPICALLY LARGER IN SIZE. YOUR P.O.S. INGERSOL RAND MAY EVEN BE A 3500 RPM MOTOR AND COULD HAVE UP TO 5 CAPACITORS. 3 OF WHICH ARE START. IS YOUR WIRE LARGE ENOUGH? IS YOUR BREAKER LARGE ENOUGH? IS YOUR COMPRESSOR UNLOADING THE HEAD PRESSURE WHEN IT CUTS OFF? IS IT OUTSIDE AND TOO COLD IN THE MORNINGS? MAKE SURE YOUR WIRING IS LARGE ENOUGH BECAUSE THAT IS USUALLY THE PROBLEM. YOU HAVE SINGLE PHASE BUT IS YOUR VOLTAGE CORRECT 208V OR 230 V. ALL WIRING AND GAUGING CHARTS ARE BASED ON 100 FT OF WIRE . MOST COMPRESSORS PULL 3 TIMES THE AMP RATING ON INITIAL STARTUP THEN COM DOWN TO AMPS LISTED ON THE MOTOR.

You can make your own gasket using a material such as Klinger Ferrofex SP/AF-II. If this specific material is not readily available, your automotive spares dealer should be able to supply a suitable alternative, but it needs to withstand reasonably high temperatures and be somewhat compressible to seal against pressure pulses.

The solution was easier than I expected. Ingersoll Rand "Select" oil is a synthetic oil recommended by Ingersoll as better than mineral oil. T30 (mdl 2475) and T21 are different styles of compressors. So, yes "select" oil can be used in the Model 2475 compressor.

Install a regulator

See the attached link for trouble shooting your compressor.

Air compressors are rated for a maximum pressure and maximum output flow. Your description implies more air is going out of the compressor than it's designed flow rate. Check for a major leak at hose fittings or around the compressor. If this is an old unit, a compressor gasket could be cracked or broken.

You need a single phase motor to do that. A 3 phase motor cannot be made to run on one phase.

non detergent 30w if you mean what kind of oil for the pump if not, what do you mean ???
