About this product
This BFO 5 HP electric motor is specifically designed as a direct replacement for air compressor applications. Operating on 230V single-phase AC with a 60 Hz frequency, it draws 15 amps and spins at 3450 RPM. It features a 5/8" keyed shaft and an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure, making it suitable for continuous compressor duty. This base-mounted motor is a practical choice for repairing or upgrading existing 5 HP compressor units.
Our take
If you're looking to replace a worn-out motor on a 5 HP air compressor, this BFO unit seems like a direct fit. The 230V single-phase operation is common for larger shop compressors, and the 3450 RPM with a 5/8" keyed shaft matches many standard pump configurations. Its 'Continuous Compressor Duty' rating is reassuring, indicating it's built to withstand the demands of compression cycles. However, as an Open Drip Proof motor, it's not sealed against dust or moisture, so placement in a clean, dry environment is crucial. Also, the lack of instructions might be a minor hurdle for less experienced users, but for a direct replacement, it's a functional and affordable option.
