I bought a new air compressor. It fills the tank just fine, but if the pressure in the tank drops enough that it has to refill the tank, it stutters and trips the 15 amp breaker. I called the manufacturer and they recommended a 20 amp breaker on a dedicated circuit.

I've run a 15 amp circuit, and I know that circuit breakers exist to protect wiring. I'm guessing this means that running a 20 amp circuit would require different wiring. What, specifically, should I be using for a 20 amp circuit?
