Thank you for posting. I am new to pressure switches, but they are really quite simple after you explained it. Thx

🤦🏽‍♂️My "technician" told me I needed to replace the pressure switch when it was wired backwards the whole time. Thanks alot

ground goes to the silver base right on top of the existing green one, or you can run it to the ground in the motor wiring

Does it matter where you put the black or white wires? You didn't explain that?

Question I’m
Looking to buy a 10hr 80gal 2-stage one and it recommends 60a breaker and it has 40a running and 80a start up. I don’t understand electric all i know is my old compressor has 8/2 cable rated at i believe 45a and i have a 50a double pull breaker. I’m a little confused why they reconnect a 60a breaker but they say it’s 80a start us. Can someone tell me if I’m ok with my 8/2 and 50a breaker or so i need to update my line. Any help appreciated.

2nd on the ground question, where do you put it?

[@rjazco51]

on the frame of the pressure switch box ,there should be 2 screws . 1 for the power coming in & the other going to the motor.

[@Jay-gj9ze]

i dont see a line coming from that to the pressure switch

[@jasonosborne74]

where do you put the ground?

[@sigmundgestetner7522]
