Re: Wiring the Compressor

Jake,

Mike (Phalanx) is correct. It is also stated in <R65>:

Quote:
The fuse on the Spike relay for the air compressor may be replaced with a 20 Amp Snap-Action circuit breaker.
The issue is the inrush current on the Thomas Compressor.

Note that this is the only Spike that can be modified in this manner...

Regards,

Mike
