Ingersollrand compressor Model SS3-E. at
Your compressor model was built with several different pumps and motors (example 2340n5-v is a V-twin two stage pump). The ss3 pump however is a very high quality reliable pump single stage with side by side cylinders. There is an air filter at top left of the pump and the pulley on the right side. When the reed valves or head gaskets fail, the pump will have reduced capacity and the discharge air will be very hot. This extra heat from leaking components will sometimes backtrack to the intake area and melt the filter. Most likely time to remove the head and rebuild. Sometimes when head components fail, the broken parts or debris will enter the discharge hose and lodge in the checkvalve at the tank (remove these components and check for debris if there are missing parts in the head or if you find high deposits of carbon ((use good quality compressor oil to help prevent carbon buildup))). Parts are available at
www.grainger.com and many other dealers. Good idea to shop around for best price. Good luck
Unloader ir t30 not operating tripping motor
the unloader is made into the pressure switch. When unit shuts down you should hear air blow out at the bottom of the pressure switch for a short period and stop.If it continually blows until the unit tries to start the tank check valve needs to be replaced. the check valve is located in the top of the tank where the discharge line goes into the tank. Also if you check the bottom of the pressure switch with the cover off you will be able to see the unloader. It's a schrader valve that is hit by a small arm on the pressure switch. you can replace the schrader valve. if it's something on the pressure switch the switch should be replaced. I've seen check valves bad but very seldom do you see the unloader bad. hope this helps you.

How to wire a t30
yes white and black are both line voltage in.each wire will have 110 to 120 volts. Attach one wire to top of starter contactor left side the other to top of starter contactor right side. Attach green wire to ground.
I NEED THE WIRING DIAGRAM
The wiring diagram is on the outside of the
motor case, on most motors,on the label
Also on the inside of the wiring connection

We have Ingersoll Rand Type
Almost all compressors use sae 30, you can buy it labeled compressor oil. The key is compressors use a non detergent oil.
Ingersoll rand compressor type 30
It sounds like the pressure switch is bad or out of adjustment. Typically the pressure switch is set at 175psi on a 2340. If the auxillary valve you are speaking of is on the pressure switch and is constantly blowing air from it you have a bad receiver tank check valve. Also if you are getting a lot of oil out the valve at the pressure switch you may have some oil control rings bad.
1 month old compressor has
the piston rings may have not seated allowing oil to get by. The oil is then carried to the tank with the air. After enough run time and cycles they should seat. If not and this is a new unit I would call the 800 # on the unit and talk to customer service at IR.
I have a ingersoll rand 30, srats for 20seconds
Sounds like the unit is pulling to many amps during start up. Possibilities are: breaker under sized, wire under sized, to long of a run of wire from breaker for wire size,Tank check valve bad. I would check the amps during start up and while running and compare to motor name plate information. Remember at start up the motor may pull 1.5 to 2 times the rated amps on the name plate. Also if this unit has a magnetic starter wire connections may be loose or overloads to small.
Can you put a bigger Hp and a smalll plully onit
There are quite a few variations of motor and pulley combinations. You can change the motor and pulley based on your needs, however do not over-clock the recommended rpm or the pump. Check the specifications of the pump to determine the max rpm . Usually the pulley on the motor will depend on the rpm of the motor. Check the rpm of the present motor to determing the rpm of the pump with current set-up, and compare to the motor you are considering. Motor rpm vary from around 850 to 3450 so pulley size is quite important. Good holidays
