And just because it is in an industrial unit, means nothing.
I worked as a spark for around 15 years, and some of the things you see people using are unbelievable. Whether just shoddy work, or undersized cables, terminations, etc etc
Unless you have a minimum of 6mm^2 from the incoming Electric Board mains to the compressor connection point itself, then IMO it is not sufficient.
At the minute you still dont know why the unit doesnt work. Just that it doesnt work, and internal parts had been tampered with.
