Wiring 2 compressors

Can you use solenoids rather than relays to wire compressors? I have 2 480s and just wondering..

If not, does anyone have a diagram for 2 compressors?

As long as it is rated for the amps, what compressors, and solenoid are you looking at?

Don't want to start a fire

my bad missed the 2-480s

19amp draw a piece so it needs to handle 38 amps

I would just run one of these, this is what I had on my old set up worked great. I can't remember the amp rating but I used this on 2 -380s

Square D Pressure switch

I already have a PS from my old setup but the guy wanted to use a solenoid or 2 (not sure) since it's 2 bigger compressors or whatever. If it works I don't care, just double checking things.

When I do two compressors I just use one Stinger 80 amp relay. They are $20.

A solenoid needs to be rated for constant duty to handle compressors. Most starter solenoids people use are not, which is why some of them last a while and some don't. I thought about using a constant duty solenoid, but after pricing them out, they where like $45 and up. Wasn't worth the price to me since I could do it with a relay that cost half as much.

I run 2 380's , controlled by Air Lifts Auto Pilot, use 2 -30amp relays each fused @ a distribution block. Never had a problem with! The Auto Pilot is powered @ all times, & fused & straight from the battery,due to a memory.

thought about just buying that set up for wiring 2 compressors like Kris at AVS sells for like 70 bucks. Up to the builder really what he feels better doing I guess.
