Neighbour is building a sizable shed and I offered him the use of my nailgun and compressor.
Wheeled it (Dakota 3HP, 100L) round to his, plugged it in and it immediately tripped his breaker. Then I remembered it does the same to me if it's on a B-curve rather than the garage's C-curve.
Plan B! Back to mine, wheeled round the 4KVA-with-AVR generator thinking it would have no problems at all.
Nope - start the compressor kills the genny stone dead. Fiddle with the throttle and it flicks the genny's circuit breaker.
"Sorry", says I, "you'll just need to use the Mark 1 manual hammer" as I wheeled them back home.
Kinda surprised that the genny couldn't cope with it - I've even run my 90A stick welder off it...
