Why does my KTC COMPACK 2 Air Compressor motor thermal sensor cause the machine to stop?
- E
  Elizabeth MartinAug 14, 2025
  If the motor thermal sensor causes your KTC Air Compressor to stop and indicates the main motor is overloaded, ensure the electric power supply is correct and that the 3 power phases are at approximately the same value with cables firmly secured. Also, check for damaged cables and ensure the main motor ventilation is free of obstructions. If the motor is running in two phases, have it checked by a qualified technician. The oil separator differential pressure may be above 1.0 bar, causing high system absorption; have the unit checked by qualified personnel. High environmental temperature can also be a factor, so ensure the room is well-ventilated. To restart, reset the machine using the button on the control panel.

What to do if the safety valve group vented air when KTC COMPACK 2 is running?
- C

  If your KTC Air Compressor's safety valve group is venting air while the compressor is running, it means the pressure has exceeded the safety valve's opening limit. Replace the safety valve. It could also indicate that the separator cartridge air/oil filter is clogged, in which case you should replace the air/oil separator cartridge. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact an authorized service centre.

Why KTC Air Compressor has excessive oil consumption?
- A
  andrewhughesAug 25, 2025
  If your KTC Air Compressor is experiencing excessive oil consumption, the oil may not be suitable for the compressor's operation. Replace the oil with the type indicated by the manufacturer. Also, the air-oil separator cartridge may be spent or defective, so replace it. Check for a clogged oil recovery viewer and clean or replace it if necessary. Finally, ensure the oil level is not too high and top it up to the level indicated in the manual.

What to do if KTC Air Compressor stop machine intervention thermal compressor motor?
- D
  Diana JohnsonAug 27, 2025
  If your KTC Air Compressor stops due to thermal compressor motor intervention, and the intervention happens when the compressor is on, check that the phases are stable. If it happens when the compressor is running, make sure the internal pressure of the group and replace the separator cartridge. If the motor draws a current higher than the rated current, contact an authorized service technician. Avoid excessive starts, as they can damage the compressor's electrical plant.

Why is there oil leakage from the air filter of my KTC Air Compressor?
- S
  Susan JohnstonAug 31, 2025
  If you notice oil leakage from the air filter of your KTC Air Compressor, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the oil level is too high and remove any excess oil, referring to the oil sight glass. Another cause might be a dirty oil recovery viewer, which you should remove and clean. Lastly, the separator cartridge could be exhausted, so replace the air/oil separator cartridge, ensuring you clean its nipple.

What to do if KTC COMPACK 2 runs but the pressure remains low?
- M
  Mr. Charles Richard DVMSep 3, 2025
  If your KTC Air Compressor runs but the pressure remains low, start by checking if the intake valve opens. When the machine is off and safely depressurized, remove the air filter and see if the shutter moves. Next, check for any air leaks from the pipes. Finally, inspect the coupling between the screw and engine to ensure the motor transmits motion to the screw; if not, contact a service center.

Why is the safety valve opening on my KTC COMPACK 2?
- J
  John LewisSep 7, 2025
  If the safety valve on your KTC Air Compressor is opening, it's likely because the pressure switch isn't working, causing the pressure to exceed the safety valve's set value. Remove the cover and check the pressure switch for oxide or dirt. If present, remove them with a mild antioxidant. Also, check that the intake valve is not locked and closes properly.

What to do if KTC COMPACK 2 Air Compressor does not start and shows phase anomaly alarm?
- C
  Christian HoSep 10, 2025
  If your KTC Air Compressor doesn't start and shows a phase anomaly alarm when starting up for the first time, the line phases are likely incorrect. To fix this, invert two power supply phases on the main switch. Ensure to unplug the machine before doing this (only for 3 phases version).
