Minimum Air Compressor Size

Ask you this: Even though you don't have 220 "where you need it" do you have it "to your house?" You could "maybe" depending on situation/ length etc..........rig a temporary extension cord and...........

Maybe from the range or dryer? Or put an external 220 outlet at the fuse panel on a separate breaker. "We" used to just use plain Romex (nm or "non metallic cable) for temp extension cords, such as to run the welder, etc This is the common 2 wire plus ground used in the walls of your house. Use no.10 and a big enough rated outlet and you are on. Bear in mind this would be OCCASIONAL and TEMPORARY use
