That compressor can draw quite a bit of current when it starts up. When using the compressor with a spike in FIRST we have blown the 20 amp fuse in the spikes themselves. Some people even go so far as to put the compressor on a speed controller to prevent this. The OCCRA system prevents them from starting at high accumulator pressures (which was the real culprit in FIRST) but I would be pretty hesitant in adding anything else to them under one 20 amp fuse. It it was a 20 amp slow blow relay... No problem.

My 2 cents
