I AM GETTING READY TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE. IT WILL HAVE A DEDICATED SHOP(GENERAL PURPOSE AND WOODWORKING). IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS AND FOR USE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, I BOUGHT A LARGE CRAFTSMAN AIR COMPRESSOR. IT IS A 3.2 RUNNING0 HP, 60 GAL, 150 PSI, AND 240 VOLT. UNTIL POWER IS BROUGHT IN, I WANTED TO RUN THIS FROM A CRAFTSMAN GENERATOR. IT IS 10 HP. 5600 (RUNNING ) AND 8600(SURGE)WATTS. IT HAS A 240 VOLT, 30AMP. OUTLET. FOR SOME REASON, THE AIR COMPRESSOR DOESN'T WORK WITH THAT GENERATOR. THE VOLTAGE OUTPUT IS 246-250 VOLTS AT THE GENERATOR PLUG (OUTLET) AND WHERE THE WIRE ENTERS THE AIR PRESSURE SWITCH WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING. THE VOLTAGE ON THE MOTOR SIDE OF THE SWITCH IS 140-146 VOLTS!!! I HAD THE GENERATOR TESTED AND TUNED UP PROFESSIONALLY AND IT WORKS FINE(I THINK). THE AIR COMPRESSOR WORKS LIKE A CHARM AT MY RESIDENCE USING THE DRYER OUTLET.

ANY THOUGHTS AS TO HOW TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM?

THANKS,
