As the name suggests, a fixed-speed air compressor operates at the same speed whenever it’s running. By design, it always draws the amount of power needed to meet the maximum compressed air demand, even if demand is less than maximum. When demand increases, the motor speeds up. When demand decreases, the motor slows down.
