George, FYI there is no simple equation (way to may factors and variables and unknowns) I can give you for the starting current of a motor. Let me explain this for you.

Such requires complex physics, mechanical considerations, weights, inertia, starting load and torque, efficiencies on and on and on and YES a current motor design electrical engineer or when I was an engineer at Century Electric I could tell you for a certain motor based on the initial load BUT I CANT GIVE YOU ANY SIMPLE EQUATION THEN OR NOW. The equation for Watts is Volts X Amps but it takes moreeeeeeeeee then that to compute starting current...….

I can tell you as an electrical engineer and a former engineer at Century Electric Motor Company the current to START a motor may be 3 to 5 times or even more then running current GET IT ?????????

Im not sure I understand your challenge??? A person can use a 12 VDC motor orrrrrrrrrrrr a 120 VAC Compressor and an Inverter orrrrrrrrrrrrr a Gas powered Compressor. Theres no "My Way or the Highway" when it comes to a persons free choices, you use what you like and others should do the same. Im not here to argue only to help educate you and others, but Im not perfect I cant explain in a sentence what takes years of study and training to comprehend so dont feel bad if you don't understand it

I will help you the best I can neighbor

Best wishes God Bless and protect you and your family George. As always its a pleasure chatting with you and trying my very best to help

John T

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
