About this product
The WEG 13470997 is a new commercial duty 2 HP air compressor motor, featuring a capacitor-start/run design for reliable operation. It offers flexible voltage input at 115/208-230V AC for single-phase power, with a 60 Hz frequency. The motor is constructed with an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure and a keyed 5/8 inch shaft, suitable for rear foot mounting. With an Insulation Class F, it is designed to withstand temperatures up to 311°F.
Our take
This WEG 2 HP motor seems like a solid choice for anyone needing a replacement or upgrade for a commercial duty air compressor. The capacitor-start/run design is generally reliable, and the ability to operate on 115V or 208-230V single-phase power offers good versatility. The Insulation Class F rating is a plus for durability under operating conditions. However, the ODP enclosure means it's not sealed against dust or moisture, so placement is key. For $245.00, it presents a reasonable investment for a core compressor component.
