If you currently have a 5 HP air compressor and the contacts on your pressure switch keep burning up, a starter is what is needed to fix the problem.

If you are using this starter on an air compressor, you will also need a pressure switch to control the starter. In this application, the pressure switch controls the on and off of the starter depending on the pressure setting of the pressure switch.
