I Bought The Cheapest Mag Starter on Amazon

Does it really have an on/off switch on the side? That's one thing I need. I put 240 switches before the pressure switch…. 30 years it started to burn. I'm replacing the motor and wanted to do every at once.

Yes, it does have an on/off switch on the side. So far, the mag starter has performed wonderfully and I haven’t had any issues regarding it. And the switch does work, I throw both the switch and breaker when I’m not using my compressor. I’ve accidentally forgotten to turn the switch back on and wondered why my compressor doesn’t work for a hot second!

what happens if you bolt it straight to the compressor frame?

[@mikesbrokenacres]

Generally, mounting directly with no bushing can cause vibrations to loosen or crack components. Having a small rubber bushing can mitigate these issues as it’ll dampen any vibrations from the motor and pump running

whats the deal with the trip? does it really matter unless something goes wrong?

[@mikesbrokenacres]

Having the compressor trip at the correct PSI is important. Hence why I baby sat and watched that it didn’t over pressurize and turn into an 80 gallon bomb. You don’t wanna be near any air compressor if it ruptures!

New sub here. Nice video.How long does your compressor take to build till cut off pressure?

[@mikesbrokenacres]

Thanks! And from 0 psi to 150 psi it takes about 6 minutes to fill my 80 gallon tank

How can I unwatch this

[@adrianpena5219]

Why make video but not show how to wire it

[@thomaswilliams4215]

Only looking for how to wire mine up. What a waste of time

[@mikesbrokenacres]

If you watched the video you’d see I pointed out where the incoming 240v comes in and where the wires go for your motor. If you’re having trouble with the pressure switch, it’s wired under the thermal relay for the in and out. Your wiring for the pressure switch may and probably is different then mine. Depends on make of the switch. Look at the wiring diagram. One wire goes out to the switch. One wire goes from the switch to the other terminal under the relay. Make sure to ground it all. Remember it’s 240v single phase. Two hots and a not. If you cannot figure out the basic wiring between the wiring diagrams and this video and comment, call an electrician. You do not want to be on the receiving end of 20 amps of 240v.
