The size of Air Copressor to choose can be ascertained by the following criteria:

What power supply is available? Single phase 230v or three phase 400v or maybe none of these.  If single phase power is only available then the largest Air Compressor you can operate will be driven by an electric motor of no more than 2.2KW (3hp) usually.  Air compressors running from three phase 400v power are available in larger capacities but are not normally considered portable due to the availability of three phase power.

Where there is no source of electrical supply available then a Air Compressor powered by a diesel or petrol engine may be chosen.
