wire size

what size power wire should I use to power a viair 480c and also what kind of switches are you guys using to blow these things?

^^^nice table…

Is this based on starting cable or welding cable?

hell i didnt use a chart. i just used 14 cuz i had it and hoped it wouldnt melt or catch fire… so far so good… lol…

ya use the chart I think a viair 380c uses like 20 amps and the solenoid is like 5 amps. and for switches always run your compressor through a relay and a on off switch of some sort. and you can buy switches at radio shack they got some to pick from (might have to look on the internet if you want one that looks better). u want a monetary switch for the horn (push on release off) though I found the wiring for the stock horn in my truck so now when I push the stearing weal it blows my train horn
