Re: Wiring the Compressor
From the 2007 FRC Pneumatics Manual See page 3
http://www2.usfirst.org/2007comp/oth...s%20Manual.pdf

A spike relay must be used to control the power to the compressor using a 20amp breaker, not a fuse.

We have done this in the past, replacing the fuse with a 20amp snap action breaker in the spike module.
