Air compressor is down!!

For future reference. When Grainger, Greybar and such are out if stock, we call local AG irrigation, pivot sprinkler guys. They seem to keep 3 phase equip in stock. Have saved our butts a few times on fuses.

Be safe. There is a reason why it's tripping he breaker. Very rarely is it a "bad" breaker...

They do get old and lose there capacity if they are used a lot. My last one I replaced (20A) was tripping at 13.4 of steady power.

They do get. Especially when ya throw um twice a day

we just had a 3 phase 120 hp motor go out on us last week. It melted the breaker contacts together and tripped a main upstream breaker. Sucks, have you ran inductance and resistance checks on the compressor motor? Might want to order 2 breakers if you haven't. Ours fried the new breaker during current load checks and we had to go get another one. It lasted about 3 trips and 20 minutes of run time before the long time delay over-currents fried.

Sounds like the thermal overload protection either was missing or sized incorrectly.

It would be worth the money to get a magnetic starter with start/stop buttons on it with thermal protection.

I was gonna say Blazer Electric has them in stock every time we have needed them... then I realized they are only in Springs and Pueblo.

It blew in the main panel. 3 yrs of throwing that breaker twice a day. I knew it would happen, just sucks. Need to use the box switch!

Educations don't come cheap!!

Really?
