I recently installed a 15HP Ingersoll Rand Air Compressor. Fully packaged unit. came with motor starter, and everything complete. nice compressor. I ran #4's, and it runs nice. The problem is the startup in-rush current. it's about 400-500 amps in-rush. The main 600amp service entrance panel vibrates the buss-bars. You can hear the virbration during the in-rush. It lasts a few seconds, and it's definately from the buss bars rattling. There is nothing wrong with the installation, and it all passed inspection, it's just the rattling of the main panel bothers me. Is there a soft start kit made for this ? and will it void the compressor warrenty ? |
