About this product
The WEG 5HP Air Compressor Motor is a robust three-phase unit designed for demanding applications, operating at 230/460V with a speed of 3450 RPM. It features a 184T NEMA frame and an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure. This motor includes a 1 1/8 inch keyed shaft and is base-mounted. It is reversible, rated for 60 Hz AC frequency, and comes with a 1.15 service factor, indicating its capability to handle temporary overloads. This US-made motor is built for reliability.
Our take
This WEG 5HP three-phase motor is a powerhouse, perfect for upgrading or replacing the motor on a serious air compressor. The 3450 RPM speed is ideal for quickly building pressure, and the three-phase 230/460V compatibility offers versatility for different industrial electrical setups. The 1.15 service factor is a standout feature, providing a valuable cushion for temporary overloads without immediately damaging the motor. Being reversible is also a big plus for installation flexibility. While the ODP enclosure means it needs to be in a dry environment, its robust construction and origin in the United States suggest high quality and durability. The 1 1/8 inch keyed shaft is substantial for heavy-duty power transfer.
