Do you suppose that this inverter is powerful enough that a Husky 8 gallon oil air compressor would be able to run on this?

I wouldn't use an inverter for something like that. Most charging systems on vehicles aren't large enough to keep up with something like that. Occasionally for a few minutes would be ok just not continuous.

I have run household appliances as well as different types of shop tools. Small compressors as well, dewalts and porter cable. I don't see why it would not run a craftsmen..Did you have a problem in attempting this? Because the inverter is a modified sine wave, the only items I not run would be rechargeable items, cells, laptops, Makita, dewalt cordless type tools. I am a journeyman electrician and have installed this type of inverter, for those who are on a budget not requiring a a device with better customer interaction..

Depends on the size of your battery string. I have four deep cycle batteries and it would run it for a bit. When running the inverter I have plenty of power to run most everything. Including 120 and 12 volt loads.

I would say yes, 2,a 24volt system would be enought.Be sure your inverter will cary thecompressor starting currant ,typically 3 times running amps. and a pure sinewave type.Get a GOOD battery charger-6 amps. or more. Vmax has a good matching charger

Yes! This would be great for this task! I have run hot plates, air compressors, pumps, and furnaces. Even small window air conditioners. This little guy is a powerhouse.

I am not familiar with the inverter you are talking about, but I used this unit in a RV with inverter and generator with no problems. It pulls 1800 watts

it would not give a very long run time. There are online calculators for amp draw vs battery capacity when using an inverter-this could help find the correct size for the amount of run time needed for the pump

If the rating is different from what you need I might not chance it. Or if you do, get the invertor from someplace like walmart where you can return it if it doesn't work.

Ohms law says amps X Volts = Watts, So with the information provided the compressor runs on 120 volts at 15 amps will be 1800 watts. However when this compressor motor starts under a load I'll bet it spikes upwards of 20 amps probably around 30 amps so if your going to use a power inverter to run this compressor better be a good one ! At least 3600 watts at the minimum

This does not have enough power for that usage. Plus mine died after limited use, right after the warranty expired. You will need an inverter of at least 1500 watts- continuous. You would also need a car battery to operate this and a battery charger to recharge it. I would think you would be far better off using a long extension cord rated to handle 1800 watts.

That will depend on the Ah use age of your machine And the size Ah of your battery the inverter will run the machine if the battery is large enough

It is not a pure sine wave inverter. That being said, it will operate 90% of anything you would want to run with no problems.

Yes this inverter would work for that. It's a good inverter, husband is a truck driver and uses his off the truck battery to run his fridge, microwave, etc.

it should as a 5 amp 120volt vacuum pulls 600 watts. the start up might trip the breaker on the inverter though.

Should handle it easily. This inverter was good on power, but mine failed after a few months with no load attached at the time.

It depends on the amount of amps that the compressor draws. I doubt it would run an industrial compressor but I have a smaller home shop size compressor that it will run with no problem.

Absolutely. I use this for a large 420W stereo and a vacuum cleaner. Gets pretty warm using both for 30+ minutes but never shuts off. Great small inverter for the money.
