amps??
are you sure the compressor you got had a 7.5 hp onit? also on tag on compressor it should say what rpms it should spin, and on the new motor you bought you should be able to see how many amps it needs to run, on startup is when it uses max amps after starting it drops back down, i am gonna say for a 7.5 hp motor it is around 32-35 amps, so yeah you need a bigger breaker, you might have wanted to check amp rating on motor before wiring it up, also burying 200 ft of wire there will be a decent amount of amperage drop, i would size the wire up 1-2 sizes big going that far, let us know
