If it’s a new installation, check the phase sequence. Ambient temperature too high or not enough ventilation..

Whether you’re using a reciprocating compressor, a portable rotary screw, or a stationary rotary screw, this issue usually comes down to power, load, or airflow problems. Let’s walk through what to check based on your compressor type..
Symptoms: The compressor fails to start or has difficulty starting. Check Electrical Supply: Ensure that the compressor is connected to a reliable power source. Inspect for blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, and damaged wiring. Reset the breakers if necessary.
[pdf] The principle of rotary screw air compression is really no different than reciprocating (piston) compression. Both are positive displacement machines that take in a fixed volume of air at atmospheric press.
[pdf] If your compressor is experiencing loading or unloading issues, check the electrical components, such as the solenoid valves, and inspect mechanical components like the air filter, intake valve, and pressure switch.
