If your facility has three-phase electrical service, this is the version to spec over the single-phase I513HC1-S — three-phase motors run at higher efficiency, produce less heat per horsepower, and start more smoothly without the torque surge that single-phase motors generate on startup. The mounted starter handles overload protection; wire to your three-phase panel and you are operational.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Manufacturer specification sheets for this model were not available at time of publication.

A 5HP three-phase motor pulls significantly less peak current on startup than a single-phase unit, which means less strain on your electrical panel and less voltage sag that affects lights and other equipment on the same circuit. Three-phase motors also run cooler under load, which extends motor life. The only reason to choose the single-phase I513HC1-S over this unit is if you genuinely do not have three-phase service available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Compressor Handles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto repair shops, body shops, and fleet service facilities with three-phase electrical service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight manufacturing and industrial facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny shop environment where three-phase power availability makes this the better choice over single-phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From OEM Diagnostic Tools?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have been supplying professional shops with Cast Air compressors and shop equipment since 2016.
