single phase motor for compressor possible swap

Paulmitchell1984 · Mar 10, 2014

Just bought an old skool compressor which works brilliant but has 3 phase power..cant really afford the invertors and cant get 3 phase at home so looking for a swap or somebody selling a single phase motor...this one is 5hp and works a treat..
So similar power would be ideal.

thanks

I have a small 25Ltr compressor great motor however the piston and liner are knackared.

If the motor is any good to ya let me know I had the whole thing up for sale for £20 but think i will keep the tank as a resovoir tank. J

good luck in finding a single phase capacitor start capacitor run 5hp motor rare as hens teeth and you will need a 45 amp supply

cheers Jai but not sure it would be big enough,

Scotty tell me about it lol, lookig at a diesle motor now to power it but its guna be a bugger to start and get to run quiet enough (from an old mixer) runs about 3 or 4hp
