Looking at buying a new compressor for the shop. I am looking at 2 compressors from the same manufacturer both 2 stage 175 psi with 7 1/2 hp motors. The question is about amperage requirements. One calls for 230 volts and 40 amps while the other calls for 230 volts and 32 amps. I cant see any difference in the 2 except the amps required and of course price. Both are 24 CFM at max pressure. One has an aftercooler, a good thing, and the other does not.
Can anyone shed some light on what might be different? The first one is "fully packaged" while the second one is the "Base model".
