Air Compressor
I just picked up an American IMC 338V 2 stage air compressor, with an 80 gallon tank. It's huge, and I shouldn't outgrow it for quite a while. Unfortunately, it's got a 5 hp 3 phase Baldor Standard-E Motor and I have single phase power. The motor's frame is a NEMA size 184T, with a 1.125" diameter shaft, and a .230 keyway and spins at 1740 rpm. Part number is 36B101X866H3. It also came with a Square D magnetic starter. The part number is 8911DPSO13V09 ($215 from Newark) inside a NEMA enclosure, which is a 20A starter. A single phase 5hp motor draws 20.6-23A, depending on where you see the data. ABAC-American's phone number is 800-528-5192.
