Have already talked to my electrician about this and he will be installing a switched outlet.

David,

Some suggestions:

1) direct wire the air compressor

2) it is not clear if you are using a magnetic switch, for a 5 hp compressor, you might consider it

3) since it is direct wired, you can add a shut off switch inline

4) in the control line that the pressure sensor is hooked up to, add a switch inline to be able to shut off

the air compressor on a low amp circuit (that circuit, with a magnet switch has, power source + switch+ pressure sensor switch + relay to magnetic switch

I just use the switch in the control circuit to turn it on an off. If I am directly working on the circuit, I turn off the shutoff switch.

Good luck

Michael
