I took the unit to a compressor shop and they ran it on 220 3 phase.
1st attempt revealed a continuous leak from the Auto drain and a failure of the Timer switch to de-activate the drain.
A cap was installed in lieu of running the line through the auto-drain. The second attempt was successful and resulted in the unit running up to 2200 on the gage. The gage acted strange because it slowly went to about 900 then hesitated for a couple of seconds before moving fast to 1700 the gage ran to 2200 and then the unit auto shut-down. Two hours later the gage still reads 1800 so there is little leaking. The caps I installed were not that tight either.
So the compressor shop guys said they thought it sounded good it seems the Pressure switch is fixed at 2200. I will need a second gage to validate this. It appears that the auto-drain was the culprit for removal. This is typical of Army mechanics. “If it breaks, swap the whole assembly out, stick it in the back of the warehouse and we will use it for parts or return it to supply”
So my next moves are:
1) Contact Onan generators to see if my Model 8.0kW MDKD-3CR\26501B oat generator can provide me with 220 single phase power.
2) Get a 2 hp 3450 RPM 220 motor that will fit the space and configuration.
a. Install it
3) Diagnose & Fix the auto drain.
4) Test pressure again Get and install a 3200psi switch
5) Add filtration
6) Test
