<p>The (newer) SW5548 was harder on over current protection, mainly because</p>
<p>it could put out more current than the SW4048... <br>
</p>
<p>One trick to try is to place a long(ish) extension cord between the SW and the load to give it a wee bit of series resistance.</p>
<p>Doing this would often reduce that OCP and help motors to start.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Does your air compressor have an unloader valve, or can you install one?
<div>That should do the trick, sounds like you are just running into the regular high surge current demand.</div>
<div>Off the grid, compressors are in about the same nasty league as old well pumps as far as surge demand.</div>

Hello<br>
I've got an SW+5548 that will barley start my air compressor. Once it does run it shows 17 Amps on the inverters loads meter. During start up it reads 60+ amps.<br>
Do you think better capacitors would help the situation?<br>
BTW I've never ran the compressor off grid prior.<br>
I even tried #8 from the Breaker to the pressure switch, about 9ft, with no benefit. The compressor will only start with the tank completely empty.<br>
