Would one of these be suitable for the odd small spray job like a kitchen table set of legs etc?
Low Noise Silent Air Compressor 50L
Specifications: Power supply : 220V 50Hz 1100W (1.5 hp), Oil Free Tank Capacity : 50L Working Pressure : 8BAR Air Flow: 90X2 L/Min Air outlet:1/4 Start instantaneous power: 2520W. Dimensions:670×310×710mmNet weight:37kgwww.aimtools.co.uk
See what their other models specs are. I think they're all going to be similar, whatever brand.
to pull me out of a bind I let a little fridge compressor type running overnight filling my 1500litre air tank... it was still running fine the next day and lasted for years (doing other stuff) after that
needed more oil in it but that was it
if he keeps the tanks full then it shouldn't be a problem
not done it yet

’Low start-up amps” Who is he kidding? He says he already has two very large compressors. Even a moderately sized compressor would likely be a lower start-up drain on the power supply?
I have a lidl mains powered air pump (used to pump up tyres) which I might, sometime, connect to a small receiver and just run it on a 5 minute timer, occasionally. My shop vac is my usual go-to - usually for suck but could, I expect, be used for blow.

Why am I kidding anyone
See attached motor plates of my current two air compressors
18.2 Amps is a beast
Why does a question ALWAYS involve a explanation BEFORE people believe you ???
I guess I'll have to explain
EVEN though I have two large air compressors, i wish to go more green
I have a solar power station (Anker 767 Inc the extra 760 battery)
I get free electricity from my solar array
So why not use it ????
My power station will only output 2300 Watts
Do you wish to know more????? Or are you happy that I am NOT kidding???

You should be used to the excessive & overly complicated response attitude, by some, to many questions on here, by now.

He could even have a pumped air storage electrical generation facility planned!

If this is the absolute maximum then it may rule out anything with an induction motor. From when I was at college, single phase induction motors need approx six times the run current to get them to start. A compressor may be a bit better as it won’t be staring at full load but something to consider.

exactly,
it was a question NOT a education
I was looking for help and suggestions, as you said, My question still remains the same.
some people cant simply reply and help, they have there own needs of curiosity that needs to be meet

dont quote me on this, but in the back off my mind, it was 3 x the run current, my power station has a 2300 watt amp max output, BUT does have a 3300 what surge rating, I am not happy to test that on a battery, as its a massive demand in such a short time, mains and the like has nothing to damage, but at £3,200 for the power bank, I really would not want to see it smoking
I've got two of these. One stopped pumping after 10 years so I bought another, took the old one apart and it was just a broken valve about £10 these compressors are sometimes running 5 hours a day often one or two hours non stop. Amazing for a cheap Chinese thing.

Three times the run current is for three phase motors
Edit see this pdf for Brook crompton single phase motors
Depending on motor capacitor configuration the start load current requirement can change

No that could be an expensive exercise
