When recharging from ~100 to ~120 PSI, the compressor must start against load. As Mr. V pointed out above, this case is much more pertinent to actual FRC operation than the tests I reported earlier.

The initial peak surge current observed using Viair compressors is relatively short duration (<0.1 sec), but the Thomas compressor's initial peak surge current is much longer duration (~0.5 sec). Comparing the Thomas surge against typical automotive fuse curves suggests an explanation for the "conventional wisdom" Jon mentioned above. The Thomas compressor has much less margin against blowing a 20A fuse during surge, and historically that is the compressor on which our FRC "conventional wisdom" is based.

I try the test. noting move may be because of the spike, I use defrent spike , nothing move.
