Motor wiring diagram craftsman compressor,919.167210

Some motors will work with 120 volt or
240 volt

You have to remove the small cover on the
end of the motor & see if there is a diagram,
where you move the wires for different voltages

Your compressor was made by Porter Cable for Sears. The motor / pump is used on many different compressor models depending on tank size and style options. None of the models /including yours/ were ever designed for 115/220v. I did happen to see a compressor that was built for european destination that was 220v. It was easy to identify because it had a two round prong male plug (it could not be wired for 115v however). Good Luck

Your Craftsman model 919.165200, 5hp, 20 gallon compressor was designed to run on 115~120v 15amp. I believe that it was made by Campbell Hausfeld and is of the oilless single cylinder type. If however your compressor is oil lubed and has a motor /drive belt configuration it may be able to convert if there is a spec plate on the motor with alternate wiring diagram. Many high-end compressors like Rol Air, Jenny, Dewalt, etc with motor/belt drive have a switch selectable voltage, however one must still change the power cord when using 220v. Good luck with your projects and post again if your have other question.

The noise really depends on what type of pump compressor motor you have but a lot depends on that.

If you click the link below and scroll though the list for your model, you should be able to find a parts diagram and replacement parts.

If you can't find it please let me know and include the model # you have and I'll find you a diagram.
Hope this helps.

GO TO MANUALS ONLINE AND PUT IN YOUR MODEL NUMBER THAY HAVE IT IT WILL TELL YOU HOW ALLSO

I found a local small motor technician who was able to help with the wiring configuration for the 110/220: I had wanted the motor to run on 110V

look on the motor cover or on the wiring cvr on mtr or on the inside of the wire termination cvr

Most brands of air comperssors are built to work on either 220 or 110 v. I believe that 220 v compressors are more efficient and draw less current and run cooler.
The more expensive compressors have a switch allowing for voltage selection. Still others will have a wiring diagram printed on the motor allowing voltage change by changing jumpers. Most all of the sears compressors that I have repaired were of single voltage with no other way to change except change motor. Do not worry however, you have the better motor. It is easier to convert the outlet plug to 220 by isolating the circuit and installing a 220 v breaker. enjoy
