Best IR 5hp 230V single phase is the 2340N5 for home owner garage, that pump has been in service for 30 years. Don't even think about trying to use it in a comercial building they Have 200-208 Volt service and will cook your motor NOT WARRANTY even if it gets replaced it will just burn up again.

If you dont need 7.5hp stay away from it, even if it's free. the added cost of your electrical install will be a deal breaker.

All air compressors use the full service factor (amps) listed on the motor FLA 32 x service factor 1.15 will pull 36.8 amps just before the pressure switch opens!

Keep the wires as short as possible.

The larger 80 amp is used for inrush current. You will have a voltage drop evey time that 7.5hp motor starts have seen 230v drop down 185v at startup. Huge problems when that happens.
