Re: how to wire square d

Ok I think I have it figured out per Kris Dye. Heres a Diagram:
The compressors can be an 8 or 10 gauge wire and the Positives str8 to the battery should be a 4 or 8 gauge wire with fuses to be safe. A relay is not needed with the square D because it works as a relay. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. In my picture I don't have ti finished wiring and wont for weeks cause i don't have the money to finish it.

Here is if you want to wire it to you Ignition so your compressors dont run with your truck off killing your battery!!

Re: how to wire square d

quick question. If your running this ps with an EDC and the truck is off and the pressure goes down in the tank, the ps will suck the juice from the battery and stay open right?

or do you wire it to ignition source so it doesn't kick on unless the truck is on? Is there a diagram for this

Let me Make its clear that the wire from ignition to the solenoid is max of 30 amps!



This diagram may be easier to read!!!!
