When running it shouldn't draw more than 3.8 amps. I sent you a pm. Talk to the electrician, the wire size depends on how many feet the electric has to run, undersized wire has toasted more compressors than I can count. One customer had the wire so small that the ground was actually too hot to touch after the electrician dug down to expose the wire to troubleshoot why the compressor kept failing.
