Electrical hook up for new compressor.

[JBRES1]

I don't have banks yet, so far all I have is one 3600 cylinder. I am looking at getting 3 or 4 more storage tanks to make up 2 banks. Am looking for a good deal on some reconditioned tanks, any ideas ?
This is my winter project , I just need to find some room in my warehouse at work to put it.

Well I am pleased to report that the power is on and working just fine.
I ran 2 hot lines and 1 ground line.
The ground line was grounded to one of the mounting bolts inside the breaker box.
My breaker box didn't have a ground strip, so I got a short ground strip from a friend of mine.
The voltage is 123 vac on both legs,and when I tested the power the amp. draw was 12.4 when the compressor first was running, then moved up to 12.6 amps after about 10 minutes.

Thank you all for your input.

Sounds awesome- let me know if you need a hand schlepping cascade bottles around or want to have an O2 cleaning party!

Tony,
I will take you up on that offer.
I will be getting 2 new 2400 psi cylinders on Friday, and waiting on a price for some 3600's and a 4500.
I just got a Victor o2 regulator today, so now its time to make the o2 stick.
Thanks, Jim
