Default Re: Compressor question.

Two pieces of number 8 wire from your electrical box in the basement out to your shed would give you all the capacity you need for a compressor, and more. You could pick up the ground from the 110 in the shed, or a ground rod, or even a third strand of wire from the basement. Rig it up as an extension cord with plugs and receptacles and I don't think you would be breaking any building codes either, if you care about that.

Compressors are noisy. They rattle windows and wives.
