I think I know the answer to this but I'd like confirmation.

I put together an old compressor today. It's a Ingersall Rand Type 30 with a 3HP single phase motor. The old compressor turns pretty easy, can almost spin it with one hand. The motor ran great on the floor with no load. I misjudged the size of the belts, but was able to roll them on, with out that much extra effort. I've got maybe a 1/4 in. flex if I'm lucky. The problem is it will run for 2-3 minutes and trip the circuit breaker.
