Setting up my air compressor for the Power Plasma 50....?

[CGCINC]

Just wondering how good the water trap/filter is that comes with the PP50....

Can I use Only that one or do I need to buy a second to go inline with it?

You will definitely need a desiccant air dryer filter you can get a cheap one at harbor freight for about $12. That is what I use on my PP205 multiprocess.

This is a very good one and comes with three filters http://www.tooltopia.com/motorguard-m45.aspx

How long do these filters last?
Also, can't tell from the pic but is this just plumbed inline?

I've had mine for a year and still on the first filter. My system stays fairly dry before the filter and I only use the filter for plasma and paint. It's plumbed inline and can be setup with quick couplings if youd like.

Thanks! It's ordered!

Is a 40 amp breaker ok for the PP50?

[SeanMurphy265]

Should be plenty.
I have an extra dryer that I bought a Lowes and have not needed it yet.
This is my current air compressor and it seems to do a good job at producing dry air.

This is my old air compressor and I think it produced more water than air.

The max in rush amps is 39. (that is full power) Breakers usually allow about a 10% overage. So you should be fine to go. Remember the breaker is for protecting the wire not the appliance. So a 40 amp breaker you can run #8 wire or larger. Larger breaker you need larger wire, but it won't hurt the welder, just give you more options in the future. Like a larger plasma cutter!!!!

I just bought one of those HF air filter - regulator for my AmVent 50 plasma (the old one leaked to the point my compressor ran constantly to the point it would shut down) I think I'll also run my larger filter at the outlet on the compressor as well so I will be going through two filters ... that should keep things dry.

Just recieved this.... Very nice!! From the picture online, I expected it to be cheaply made but this thing is heavy, and heavy duty! Thanks again
