About this product
This is a 5HP single-phase electric motor designed for air compressor applications, featuring a 3450 RPM base speed and a 7/8" keyed shaft. Operating on 230V AC at 60Hz, it has an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure and an Insulation Class F rating. The motor draws 21A at full load and is base-mounted. Its IP23 rating suggests protection against solid objects over 12.5mm and water spray.
Our take
If you're looking for a budget-friendly 5HP motor for an air compressor, this unit from BFO could be a contender. The 3450 RPM speed is good for quick recovery, and the 7/8" keyed shaft is a common size. However, it's an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure, meaning it's not ideal for dusty or wet environments, so consider where you'll be operating it. The 21A full load current at 230V should be manageable for most workshops with appropriate wiring. For the price, it offers solid basic specifications, but don't expect premium protection features.
