Re: compessor spike fuse blows
We had a fuse blow on us mysteriously with the compressor spike. But I just replace it with a new one and it has been fine ever since. Check to see if you have the compressor wired backwards. I hear from our head of pneumatics that under no circumstances is the compressor to be wired backwards(reverse polarity). It might be fortunate that the fuse is cutting the power before any major damage happen to your compressor.
