[Easton Trevor A] A couple of options.
Put it on a separate circuit with a slow blow fuse that will
accommodate the starting current.
Fit a 3 Way valve between the compressor and the tank to unload the
compressor for starting. It starts with pressure port open to atmosphere and
then sitches to tank when the motor has spun up to speed.
