We were there awhile ago and my father in law asked me to see if I could figure out why the compressor wouldnt run. It had too small of wire fed through too small of a switch and kept overtime burning out the light switch that controlled it. Non electrical terms we ran heavier wire and a more suited shut off and rewired the control. For the electricians on here heres the rest of the story lol.
Its a 5hp motor with 25A FLA so we rewired most of the compressor circuit. I removed the 12/2 from sharing a 40A breaker with a feed for a separate building which fed a double pole 15A switch that fed L1&L2 at the motor starter then T1&T2 fed 14/2 BX that supplied L1&L2 at the motor. Theres #8 feeding the separate building but we refed it with a double pole 30A breaker as theres only a few outlets and lights in there. We ran #10 from the 40A breaker to a 50A HVAC style disconnect, then from there to the starter and also replaced the 14/2 BX with #10 to the motor. We rerouted the #12 that originally ran to the starter to a 4x4 JB , wirenutted one line together and fed the other through a 15A push button breaker. We used that circuit as a switch loop to break the control circuit fed through the pressure switch and a single pole switch by the door so he can still switch it off when hes not using it. Took a couple hours but its a way better arrangement.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
