The Castair I1038VC2 is a 10-horsepower, 3-phase industrial air compressor on an 80-gallon vertical tank with the C2 pump running at 758 RPM — the non-starter version of the I1038VC2-S. The machine is identical in pump, motor, tank, and output. The only difference is that the magnetic motor starter must be sourced and installed separately. At 40x24 inches of floor footprint and 74 inches tall, the vertical 80-gallon tank maximizes air storage in a compact floor space.
Starter Requirement
A magnetic motor starter with properly sized overload relays is required to safely operate a 10HP 3-phase motor. If your electrical installation already includes a properly rated starter, or if your electrician is supplying one as part of the panel work, this non-starter version is the correct choice. If there is any uncertainty about the starter situation, order the I1038VC2-S instead — it ships with the starter factory-mounted and wired.
