I bought a new compressor, Ingersoll Rand 60g 5hp single stage.
Working on hooking it up and wiring it. I would like to plug it into the same circuit I used for previous compressor. I only have one 230V outlet in my shop (4 prong from dryer, moved dryer outlet from house to shop). For existing compressor, Arch Welder and Tig welder; I have a three prong to four prong extension cord with a box on the end and it works fine, I taped off the white wire from the four prong cord inside the box.
I would like to use a 35-6 dryer cord to wire the compressor; will that work? The control box on the compressor has black, white, and green terminals. Can I hook up the white to white, black to black, and green to green and tape off the red terminal from the 35-6 cord inside the control box for the compressor? Or, should I wire the compressor with the same three prong as the Tig and Arch welders and use the adapter cord I have? Web, you helped me when I made the extension cord and it has worked great, thanks. Now, how to wire the compressor?
Here's the adapter cord I have been using:
Here's the cord I would like to connect to the compressor to match the wall outlet:
And last, here is the control box on the compressor:
Can I use the new cord with this compressor by just taping off the red wire?
Thanks,
Marty
