the fish

best thing is to buy one big enough to run heating and be able to boil kettle etc incase of power cuts 2200kw should do it thats what i use any way if it is just for compressor you need to know wattage and start load i think ?

Unless you already have the compressor, rather than buying an electric compressor and generator, just buy a petrol or diesel compressor.

 

If you already have the electric compressor, can you not do it with extension leads?

a 300 horse compressor of course, to be honest give yourself a little leeway, go for 2500kw with the 300 horse motor, they draw a fair bit when starting up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or may be a 2.2kw genny and a 1.5 horse compressor, or the genny will stall out when the pump kicks in
