Should be in the mage-ohms (you need an isolation tester / high voltage ohm meter for this). Check the voltage when the compressor is running. If the voltage drop significantly when the compressor starts/runs, you have a bad connection somewhere. Check all relays, fuses and electrical connections..

Ensure that all connections are secure and that the voltage matches the compressor’s requirements. A multimeter can be helpful here to test the circuit. Next, reset the circuit breaker or motor overload protection.
[pdf] Back to the startup systems. Star/delta (Y-D) is the most common system deployed in air compressors, or in industrial machines in general. It's simple, easy to understand, easy to troubleshoot and doesn't require expensive electronics. With Y-D starter we take advantage of the lower per-winding voltage when. .
Here we see a typical setup of a star-delta starter: *Typical setup of a star-delta starter. There are 6 cables going to the motor (white, at the bottom) .
The system always consists of 3 main contactors (big relais) in a typical configuration that is easy to recognize. The 3 contactors are: 1. Main/line contactor 2. Delta contactor 3. Star contactor

Mount a thermometer in the compressor room. Increase ventilation if room temperature exceeds operating limits. Inspect and remove/vacuum loose dust from inlet filters. Frequency depends on ambient dust load. Inspect and vacuum ambient side of coolers. Frequency depends on ambient dust load.
