It should turn around smoothly, without any 'hickups' (be sure to completely shut down the air compressor!). Check the isolation of the motor windings. 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.
[pdf] Displacement (m³/min): It refers to the volume of air discharged by the compressor per unit of time, also known as flow rate or volumetric flow rate. Discharge pressure (MPa): It indicates the pressure of the air at the compressor’s outlet, usually measured in megapascals (MPa).
[pdf] A screw air compressor is very similar to a human heart. While a human heart has tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic valves, a screw air compressor has four critical valves namely air inlet, minimum pres.
