About this product
The WEG 5HP air compressor electric motor is a single-phase unit with a 182/4T frame, operating at a base RPM of 1755. It's designed with an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure and a rolled steel housing. This heavy-duty motor requires 208-230V AC input, features a 1-1/8 inch keyed shaft, and is foot-mounted. It has a 1.15 service factor and an F insulation class for thermal protection up to 311°F, ensuring reliable performance for compressor applications.
Our take
This WEG 5HP motor is clearly built for the rigors of an air compressor, offering a robust single-phase solution. The 1755 RPM is suitable for many compressor pumps. The ODP enclosure means it's best suited for cleaner, drier environments, as it offers less protection from contaminants compared to a TEFC motor. The 1.15 service factor indicates it can handle occasional overload, which is good for compressor startup demands. Just be sure your workshop environment is relatively clean to get the most out of this open drip-proof design.
