Thank you for the response concerning the breaker size. The compressor is 15 feet from the breaker box. My concern is looking at the connections would size 8 wire fit in these openings indicated in the inserted picture or would I need to attach a spade connector (if that is an option) like in...

I recently acquired a industrial 60 gallon IMC air compressor. However it has a 3 phase motor instead of single phase. I have attached a picture of the plate on the motor. I want to replace this motor with a single phase... The three phase 5hp shows 1740 rpm and I noticed the single phase 5hp...
