{"product_id":"castair-i538hc1-s","title":"Castair I538HC1-S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Castair I538HC1-S is an 8-series three-phase industrial air compressor with a 5HP motor, horizontal tank, and factory-mounted magnetic starter. The 38-series designation puts this in Castair's larger tank, three-phase category — combining the efficiency of three-phase motor operation with more stored air volume than the 33-series provides. The mounted starter handles overload protection and simplifies installation on a three-phase panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Manufacturer specification sheets for this model were not available at time of publication.
