When It is switched on it starts running for a few seconds (2 or 3) and trips the breaker. Shut it off for a few minutes and when you turn it on again the results are the same. What would be possible problem?

Thanks for the post!

I would first make sure you don't have a bad check valve.

To be safe, perform the check valve test; you can find out how by clicking on the below link:

If the check valve tests okay, you may have damaged copper contacts in the on/off pressure switch, or possibly a motor problem.

Also, you may want to remove the main Discharge Tube (that connects the pump to the tank) and the check valve to confirm you have no debris that is causing a blockage in the line.

This should give you a good idea where to start!

Also, what is the serial number of your air compressor?

This will help.
