Why does the air compressor trip?

Based on experience, there are the following reasons:

1. Start with pressure and check the pressure gauge of the oil and gas barrel of the air compressor. If there is pressure, it is preliminarily judged that there is pressure in the air compressor system, which causes the air compressor to start with pressure, causing the starting current to be too high. The air switch is to protect the unit. And tripped. The reason for this situation is usually due to the failure of the minimum pressure valve or the blockage of the pressure relief system.

2. The resistance of the air compressor head is too large. The air compressor is overloaded, which will also cause the air switch to trip. The overload of the air compressor is usually due to the excessive resistance of the head of the air compressor, which causes the starting current of the air compressor to be too large, causing the air switch to trip. Therefore, the role of lubricating oil in the screw compressor is very important. Its role is mainly manifested in four aspects: cooling, lubrication, sealing, and noise reduction. The quality of the oil and the amount of oil directly affect the quality of the air compressor. The normal operation of the air compressor and the service life of the air compressor, especially the impact on the nose part of the air compressor is obvious.
