The 5HP LEESON 1740 RPM 184T DP 208-230V 1PH Air Compressor Motor (Product ID / Model: 131537.00) is a heavy-duty, single-phase replacement motor engineered specifically for industrial and commercial air compressor use. With a true 5 horsepower output, 1740 RPM operating speed, and a standard 184T frame, it’s designed to drop into many common compressor platforms that require a tough, reliable 208–230V motor.

Built around a rigid, rolled-steel 184T frame, this motor features a capacitor-start / capacitor-run design that delivers strong starting torque for belted compressor loads. The open drip proof (DP/ODP) enclosure allows air to move freely across the windings, making it ideal for clean, dry mechanical rooms, shops, and compressor houses where airflow and cooling are easily maintained.

Key Performance Specifications

• Horsepower: 5 HP
• Voltage: 208–230V, single phase, 60 Hz
• Speed: 1740 RPM (4-pole design)

• Enclosure: DP / ODP (Open Drip Proof)
• Full Load Amps: approx. 23.0–21.0A at 208–230V
• Service Factor: 1.15 for additional overload margin
• Shaft: 1-1/8" diameter, extended shaft suitable for compressor pulleys
• Duty: Continuous, compressor-duty rated

Top Reasons to Choose the LEESON 131537.00 Motor

1. Built for Compressor Duty
   Designed specifically for air compressors, pumps, and other belted loads that demand high breakdown torque and rugged construction.
2. Strong Starting Under Load
   Capacitor-start / capacitor-run design provides high locked-rotor torque, helping the motor start reliably even when driving a heavily loaded compressor pump.
3. Continuous-Duty Reliability
   Class F insulation, continuous-duty rating, and a 40°C ambient design support long runtimes in demanding shop and industrial environments.
4. Straightforward Replacement Fit
   Standard NEMA 184T dimensions and common shaft size make this a practical drop-in replacement for many existing 5 HP single-phase compressor motors.
5. Low-Maintenance Construction
   Ball bearings and a rolled-steel frame are designed to handle belt tension, vibration, and everyday wear in compressor applications.

Typical Applications

• Stationary piston air compressors
• Light industrial rotary compressor packages (where compatible)
• Shop air systems, spray booths, and maintenance bay compressors
• Other belt-driven machinery requiring a robust 5 HP, 1740 RPM, 184T single-phase motor
