I don't know if you guys remember, but i have this old, beastly
2motor, 2pump compressor.. well.. one motor stopped working.. so i opened the junction box (where the 240 comes in, and splits for the two motors.. also has a switch that the pressure switch controls), and the wire had melted, and turned green and broke off!.. tried to unscrew the terminal that it goes into, but that was TOTALLY seized (fused and welded in from the 'short circuit', and snapped the whole junction box! What would have caused that.. the motor isn't original, and it's a HUGE old school 2hp (instead of 1.5), but it's the same specs otherwise).. i'm screwed now.. WHere am I going to find a junction box for a 2motor compressor? Must have had 1hour of continous run time on it.. Surely the extra .5hp wouldn't have caused the wire meltdown? didn't trip the breaker either..What if, on the pressure switch, i hook it up as normal for one motor, but under each Motor terminal just put the wires for both motors? seems like a bad idea to me though.. especially since it's a shitty little
29.99 switch.
