i am having difficulty starting my ir 10hp air compressor to start when there is compressed air in the tank. i initially tried to run the compressor with the 15hp rpc fitch williams helped me build 5yr ago (i havent seen him post lately has anyone heard from him) but it had difficulty starting it even when the tank was empty. i built a second
15hp rpc which i start with the first and only comes online when the compressors pressure switch closes. when both rpc running and the pump charging the tank between @100-150psi Ian=24 ,Ibn=35, Icn=21, Vab=216,Vac=205, Vbc=225. both rpc running unlaoded 20,21,(16 for the starting rpc 13 for the second rpc), 224,239,247. there are time delay switches to stagger starting the rpcs and the compressor . i would appreciate any help- posted
