Q&As

1 - 10 of 147 Questions

Q: Will this run on a 15 amp circuit?

2 days ago
1 Answer
  • A: Howdy neighbor! The PORTER-CABLE 24-gallon air compressor is designed to run on a standard 15 amp household circuit. However, because its 1.5 HP motor draws a lot of power when starting up against high tank pressure, it needs to be plugged into a dedicated outlet with no other tools running on the same line. To prevent your breaker from tripping, you should always avoid using extension cords and use a longer air hose instead to reach your project!

Q: Is oil already in compressor when purchased

    A: No, the compressor is shipped with a bottle of high-quality pump oil that must be added before use. It is not a plug-and-play unit and requires you to fill the oil reservoir and install the included air filter prior to operation.

Q: Can this compressor run a 110 plasma cutter?

6 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. This compressor provides about 4.0 SCFM at 90 PSI, which is right at the minimum for many small plasma cutters. It may work for short, light cuts, but it likely won’t keep up for continuous cutting because plasma cutters typically need 4–6+ SCFM. For steady operation, a higher-CFM compressor is recommended

Q: How many hours of life is the pump rated or expected to reach

6 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. The manufacturer does not provide a specific pump‑life rating. Similar oil‑lubricated compressors typically last 8–15 years or up to ~50,000 hours with proper maintenance, but actual lifespan depends heavily on usage, duty cycle, and upkeep.

1 Answer

Grade B plus for 1 1/2 hp 24 gallon air compressor

a month ago
Overall, this compressor is very good for shop work generally, it will not keep up with high volume demand because it is only one and a half hp. It is a bit on the noisy side, but I say it is excellent for the money spent. Also, it has quick recovery time.
