Try to turn the compressor by hand. It should be possible to turn it around. It should turn around smoothly, without any 'hickups' (be sure to completely shut down the air compressor!). Check the isolation of the motor windings.
[pdf] One of the most significant advancements in screw air compressor technology is the widespread adoption of Variable Speed Drive (VSD) systems. Traditional fixed-speed compressors run at a constant speed, regardless of the actual air demand.
[pdf] Integrated design saves space, reduces installation, and boosts overall efficiency. High efficiency and lower energy use with two-stage compression for heavy-duty demand. Optimized for processes needing large airflow at low pressure, cutting energy waste.
