WHAT FUES SHOULD I USE???

I HAVE OLD MINI COMPRESSOR. I TRY WITH 2AMP TWICE IT NOT WORKING AND 4AMP STILL NOT WORKING. WHY??? THE COMPRESSOR HAVE 110 V AND 85W.

Check that the fuses are ok using a continuity tester.
Make sure you are using the correct fuse as recommended by the manufacturer - sometimes you need to use a bigger fuse because the equipment uses more current when it starts up.

2Amp fuse is right for this - Fuses are popping because system has an electrical fault - Risk with bigger & bigger fuses is Fire.

Divide Watts by Volts = Current (use slightly bigger fuse)

85W divided by 115 Volts = 0.74Amps (2A fuse = Just right)
