    Default Wiring a simple air compressor

    An air compressor with model: IV5076055 (From Industrial air USA) is at up front. I can't find information about HP on the manual for wiring purpose. The data at disposal is:
    60 gallon Vertical
    175 Max PSI
    15.3 CFM @ 100 PSI
    13.5 CFM @ 175 PSI
    5.0 RHP

    Any help/suggestions on wiring?

    I would use a 4mm (diameter) wire and a 32A breaker.

    The link says 5HP, the manual does not give any details on wiring connections except 230v and 'refer to the motor plate'!
    What exact info are you looking for?
