Should be in the mage-ohms (you need an isolation tester / high voltage ohm meter for this). Check the voltage when the compressor is running. If the voltage drop significantly when the compressor starts/runs, you have a bad connection somewhere. Check all relays, fuses and electrical connections.
[pdf] Generally you wouldn’t want a generator solely for the purpose of operating an air compressor, but rather one that is able to run other appliances in your workplace. Therefore going for a fixed size air co.
[pdf] Uses a dedicated variable frequency drive (VFD) for permanent magnet synchronous motors, enabling stepless speed regulation, constant pressure air supply, and soft start. This eliminates idle power consumption and enables intelligent air supply.
