A dependable motor designed specifically for demanding air compressor service.
Air compressors place unique demands on electric motors. High startup loads, continuous operation, and demanding working environments require motors that can deliver reliable performance day after day. When a compressor motor begins to fail, the results can include hard starting, overheating, reduced air output, increased energy consumption, and costly downtime.
The WEG 13516819 Compressor Duty Motor (00536OS1CCD182/4Y) is engineered specifically for air compressor applications where dependable starting torque and reliable operation are essential. It features a 5 HP output, 2-pole design, 182/4Y frame, single-phase operation, 208-230 V rating, IC01 cooling, and an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure with foot-mounted construction.
Instead of relying on worn or underperforming motors, maintenance professionals choose compressor-duty motors designed to handle the demanding requirements of compressed air systems.

Why Proper Compressor Motor Selection Matters More Than Many Operators Realize
Air compressors require motors capable of handling high starting loads and frequent operating cycles. Installing an improperly rated or worn motor can lead to startup problems, excessive heat buildup, reduced compressor efficiency, and premature equipment failure.
Real Impact
Example 1: An air compressor struggles to start under load, causing repeated breaker trips and production delays. Replacing the failing motor with a properly rated compressor-duty motor restores reliable operation.
Example 2: A compressor system experiences reduced performance due to motor wear and overheating. Installing a new WEG compressor-duty motor improves startup capability and overall system reliability.
This is why maintenance teams carefully verify horsepower, voltage, frame size, and compressor-duty ratings when selecting replacement motors.
