Hello,
My home air compressor(coleman noise maker) needed a new pressure switch. It ran but didn't shut off. So I bought a generic 80-115 psi model that handles this amp rating... I wired it the way it shows in the cover. But I keep blowing the Circuit breaker in the house.
So I start ringing out the wires to make sure I did not make a short to ground. I didn't. But the compressor motor is at 0 ohms. No resistance.... odd I think. So this is causing my short to ground and popping the CB.
It ran fine till installed this switch then has not run. What kinda ohms would I see on a 1 hp ac electric motor? I was thinking 2.5 ish...?
Or maybe 0 is right as the brushes and coils are just in continuity....? Help electrical wizards please!
