It is with mine. And it is pretty much alone on a 15 amp circuit. If it
automatically turns off I need to rush to the compressor and turn it's
switch off. If the compressor tries to start with more than about 7
pounds pressure in the tank it will trip the 15 amp breaker.
If I had a real house I would use 220V and a higher capacity compressor.
