If the machine is genuinely multi-tap it can be configured for the lower supply most commercial buildings carry; if it is a single-voltage 460V motor, a building without 460V needs a transformer, and that is a real line on the installation quote rather than a detail. Both sources agree on \u003cstrong\u003e460V\u003c\/strong\u003e and on three-phase; they disagree about whether anything below that is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe will not average them, convert one into the other, or quietly correct the field that looks wrong. \u003cstrong\u003eAsk us before you order and we will confirm the motor's actual nameplate voltage with Schulz in writing.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you are having an electrician quote the install, get that confirmation first — it changes the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat three-phase actually buys you\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree-phase is not simply a bigger version of single-phase, and the practical differences show up in a compressor more than in most machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA three-phase motor produces smooth, continuous torque because the three windings hand off to one another in sequence, where a single-phase motor delivers torque in pulses and needs help getting started at all. That means no start capacitor and no centrifugal start switch — two of the components that most often fail on a single-phase compressor motor, usually on the coldest morning of the year, when the pump is stiff with cold oil and the motor is asked to break it away against tank pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also means the current is spread across three conductors rather than pushed down two, so the same work is done at a lower current per leg. Lighter conductors, a smaller breaker, less voltage drop over a long run, and a motor that runs cooler under a heavy duty cycle. If your shop has three-phase available, using it for the compressor is close to free performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFloor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56 inches by 23 inches — a long, narrow plan that suits a wall run rather than a corner.

The splay is functional: it opens a path for air between the barrels and leaves room for deeper cooling fins, and a pump that stays cool is a pump whose oil stays thin, whose valves stay flat and whose rings do not glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside are oversized main bearings, Swedish steel valves and CNC-machined components; lubrication is a splash system with a sight glass, and there is no low-oil shut-off, so checking the level is a habit you need rather than one the machine enforces. An intake air filter is fitted, which is inexpensive insurance — every particle the filter stops is one that does not lap the bore. Note that this model's sheet lists no after-cooler and no air dryer; downstream moisture treatment is a separate purchase if the work demands it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCommercial and industrial units with existing three-phase service\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the supply is already there and the only question is which machine to hang off it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBusy service and tyre bays\u003c\/strong\u003e running a heavy duty cycle, where a three-phase motor's cooler running and simpler starting arrangement pay off.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLow-ceiling workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e that need 80 gallons of stored air in a 42 inch tall package.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFabrication and light manufacturing\u003c\/strong\u003e where a compressor that never stops starting is a compressor that eventually stops working.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Fitted\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWEG electric motor, 5 HP, three phase\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eV-Series solid cast iron two-stage pump, belt driven\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMagnetic starter, mounted and prewired\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntake air filter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOversized main bearings and Swedish steel valves\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCNC-machined components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNotched belts inside an enclosed belt guard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePowder-coated components\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e80-gallon ASME air receiver with safety valve and a 1\/2-inch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePressure gauge and oil sight glass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMotor and power\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e5 HP, WEG\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhase\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eThree phase\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSources disagree - see the note above\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStarter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eMagnetic, mounted and prewired\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAmp draw \/ breaker\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eConsult a certified electrician\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePump\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTwo-stage, belt drive\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSolid cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaximum pressure\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e175 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLubrication\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eOil lubricated, splash, sight glass\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAfter-cooler \/ air dryer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNo \/ No\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAir filter\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTank and dimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e80-gallon, horizontal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTank outlet\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1\/2-inch\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e56 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e23 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e42 inches\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e479 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCertification, stated plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne certification is recorded against this compressor: ASME, on the air receiver and its safety valve.
