Well looking at the power supply on the new version it says 350 watts if that is the only draw on unit it should be just above 3 amps. I think

The motor's max rating is 350W, which equates to 29.17 amps @ 12vdc. But it doesn't run at max power. The OP is asking how many AC amps it pulls when running. Someone on AGN has posted the before, but I cannot post it now. Hopefully they will see these posts and speak up again with his experience.
But using a calculator, it should draw about 2.64 amps from the AC circuit.

If you click on this link, and scroll way down to "Product Paramenters" it states that the "maximum current" is 30 Amps.
After purchasing a household generator, I discovered that coffee pots are a huge consumer of electricty.
Perhaps you could plug a coffee pot (or hot plate, or croc-pot) into your SUV's outlet, and see how it does with that.
I would be surprised if a outlet in an SUV, would be capable, to be honest.

I was merely showing you can get a 30 Amp breaker for your load center if need be. The idea this compressor would need a 30 Amp breaker in a 110 vac load center circuit is beyond belief.

Gotcha. Not everyone understands the relationship between AC/DC nor between watts/amps/volts. And it becomes even more complicated when dealing with inverters or converters.
To be clear, one does NOT need a 30A breaker to run the GX compressors. 15A is way more than enough.

The question here, was if a 5 Amp circuit in a SUV would handle the load.
I would be SHOCKED if it does!

The thing that worries me about the internal power supply is that some on here have had their external ones go up in sparks. If that were to happen, I’d much rather it be outside the unit.

And not to mention the extra induced heat onto the inverter...

The question is about using an inverted 5A outlet in his vehicle, not running off the battery.

The vehicle has a inverter built in and has 110V outlet. I did some more research and it has a 150 watt limit so it will NOT run the compressor.

Yeah, I agree. 150w is only 1.36A.The vehicle has a inverter built in and has 110V outlet. I did some more research and it has a 150 watt limit so it will NOT run the compressor.
My truck has a 400W bed inverter (3.6A), so it might work, though it would be pushing the limit.
Personally, I'd say one would be better off just hooking up directly to the battery and run the truck while pumping.

I was quoted 547 from alibaba shipped to Florida and 579 total from gx directly with faster shipping so I went directly from gx

You have a Tacoma? Mine says 400w as well but I’m not sure it’s actually capable of that. I couldn’t even run a 2gal pancake compressor
