NO yu wire it like yu wire spotlamps with a relay. So HD cable from battery to relay, live supply to switch then from switch to relay and HD cable from Relay to Compressor. oh and an earth to relay. exactly same as wiring spots.
 
Yeah what redhand said, any heavy duty mechanism should be wired by relay, it'll save the posability of melting switches and the like. i learned loads bout relays and wiring up lights by doing a search on here theres loads on it, good luck!
