I have a 3 hp 110/230 volt electric motor I just bought to power a v twin air compressor pump. I do not have a 220 volt power source available, so I run it at 110 volts and should supposedly only draw 15 amps. Unfortunately it must draw more because it will constantly trip my 20 Amp breaker... any ideas on how I can balance the power draw or how to transfer power from motor to pump more efficiently that typical pulley and belt setup?
