I've got two air compressors with electric motors rated at 1 1/2 horse - but both very different.
The bigger one won't even think about starting with my Coleman 1850 or 3000 watt generator. It does work with my Homelite 4400 watt gen. This same compressor will trip a 15 amp breaker when starting but is fine on a 20 amp breaker (with grid power). It WILL however blow a 20 amp fuse if not a slow-blow type. This motor has a 20 amp/120 volt plug on it - NOT a 15 amp plug.
My small "1 1/2" horse pancake air-compressor will not start with my Coleman 1850, but does work with my 2000 watt Honeywell Inverter generator. It will also run off my Xantrex 2000 watt inverter hooked to a couple of DC batteries.
