I am in a hangar without electricity and use a Honda generator for juice. The limitation is about 1600 watts continuous (13amps or less).
I would like to purchase an electric compressor solely for compression tests. A small two gallon pancake compressor fits the power requirements, and logic says that compression check volumes are low with the piston at TDC.
Do you think that 2 gals with a 90psi rating would keep up with the required 80psi input? That one draws about 5 amps. The next step up would be 2 gallons or so at 125psi requiring 10 amps.
I do not wish to purchase a gasoline powered compressor.
