Vevor air compressor

Maybe check this fuse in yours.

Thanks appreciate the picture. I can now see for sure that the one I looked at is actually a fuse (attached) or I think they call it an inline fuse. The wire through the middle of the fuse looks to be in place, so that may not be the culprit. Another gentlemen directed me to where I can buy another one, it p me off that something so slightly used is broken. I am going to think about it, and thanks again for the help!
 
Thanks ... what is upsetting is that I used the dang thing only twice. It looks like it has been used twice as well. The fuse looks good. I can see the wire going through the middle of the glass. Thanks for the info to get another one.

Probably "power factor" effect at play and they sized things for average power instead of peak in the compression cycle. My supply was 40 amps, I linked a cheap 50 amp, beyond that its more than extra dollar or two.

I recommend checking voltage at both ends of the fuse. Having been bitten by the "looked OK" bug....
