Coleman air compressor

If you are using a 220V-240V appliance at 110V, you will need a transformer. If you are using a 110V appliance at 220V-240V, you can also use a transformer but may be able to get away with a (cheaper) converter though not with all appliances.

Usually a 40 VA transformer is enough. If you want to make sure you have enough power for inrush requirements, a 100 VA transformer would more than do the trick

It is because you tanning bed requires L1 and L2 (240V) and a seperate neutral, and a ground. You need an electrician to install a proper outlet. A dryer (years ago) was installed without a neautral. However per NEC electrical code even new dryers have to have 4 wires. Do not attempt to use on 3 wires !

I just browsed the net and found several sites that sell coleman parts. Above is just one I copied and pasted. If your unit is older, if you know the type of pump you can search for that. eg. (debilvius) A lot of compressors have the same pump under a different name like Coleman, Sanborn etc. I have found some units that are just so old they are obsolete and parts just aren't available.Hope this helps. Good luck!

get the micro farad and volts of your capacitors, then bring it to the electrical supplies

Century / Magnetek motors are used on many compressors but usually is an upgrade to have the option to easily switch from 110 to 220. Dewalt, Rol Air, Jenny, Emglo and others are considered high end compressors and come with switch for selecting voltage. One still must change the cord if selecting 220v setting. One thing in common is that 115v motors are never more than 2-3 HP because the amp draw for anything over 2hp is likely higher than 20 amps and would trip most common outlet breakers. You noted that your motor sticker lists 6.5 hp at 15 amp 220v so it could not work with 110v because it would draw over 30 amps and just not be practical. Magnetek motors are very good quality and most always state on sticker 110/220v and show wiring diagram for proper connection. Your compressor was most likely built to be stationary and be hardwired into an outlet/switchbox with heavy duty wiring or special cord to run such a high hp motor. You made a great buy however, because the motor alone lists for several hundered dollars alone. You could replace the motor with a 110v but you would loose the fast performance / recovery of that 6.5 hp motor. Like replacing a v8 engine with a 4 cyl. but expect to pull same load, not likely. Good luck with your purchase, and post again if you have other question.

send me a photo of the compressor, need to see the front view, and if possible the motor name plate. send it to my business e-mail [email protected] and I will see what I can do for you to get you what you need to do it correctly.

I can't blame you for askig, but here's my response. 5 HP is 3750 running watts. or about 35 amps at 110 volts and it would take somewhere around 50 amps to start it provided the motor could even be wired for 110 which I don't believe it can and for that exact reason. I'm sorry, but it's just not practical.

All electric compressors share a basic design with ac power pressure switch with unloader and checkvalve between the pump and the tank. When the pressure switch powers off, it unloads the compressor by releasing the air in the discharge hose. You will notice a small tire stem pin and a lever to engage it somewhere on the pressure switch. If the compressor stops before reaching set cutoff point, the air pressure remains in the discharge hose not allowing the motor to start, thus the hum you hear. Solution is to check for the proper function of pressure switch /unloader, tank check valve (if check valve leaks air back to compressor it will load motor causing hum) and extra measure check capacitor for at least 90% of rated valve. Finally, do not run this compressor with an extension cord, use more hose instead. enjoy
