Who here has ran 240V lines to power an air compressor?

Depends on the compressor. 50 amp breaker for sure. Does your compressor use a 3 wire or 4 wire hook up?

I got the Griswold's living across the street. Their house is already lite up for Christmas. I don't need lights in my living room. I have enough for them.

You only need a neutral if you have 110V controls. If no controls at compressor (ie, straight to motor), two wires plus ground is what you want.

You can determine appropriate wire size using ampacity tables you can find on the web. https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=ampacity%20table

LOL, do you know how old the S8 and my computer is. Older than dirt. Lasted much longer than any of that faggy Apple crap.
