AIR COMPRESSOR WIRING 110 or 220?

If I have a air compressor that gives me the option to wire it either 220 or 110 volt what is the difference , which is best.





Bill says...

If you consider that a compressor is a conversion device, turning electricity into stored kinetic energy in the form of compressed air, and if you consider that with a 220 Volt supply your air compressor will have much more electricity available to faster convert it into compressed air, then 220 Volts is the way to go, for sure.

I don't have 220 wired to my shop. Maybe one day I will as it would be of benefit, for sure.

Cheers,

Bill
