Hi Joy, nice to hear from India.

My simple answer is, I haven't a clue.

I suspect you'd need to know the efficiency of the compressor in question, and then a whole lot more about electrical power consumption than I'll ever know.

Maybe someone else reading this can chip in an answer for you. I can't provide one.

Sorry,

Bill
