phase. Right now it has a big old 3phase 2 HP motor. Very big for the
HP on the nameplate.
Harbor Freight sells 56 frame motors that they somewhat vaguely refer
to "use with compressors rated for 3 hp that were previously rated for
5 HP".

Is that really a "3 HP" motor that can put out output comparable to
that big old "2 HP" 3 phase motor. Note that I want to replace a 2 HP
rated motor with a "3 HP" rated motor, ie one more nominal HP is
added.
The FLA rating on the HF motor (15A) is similar to FLA rating on the real 3
HP Baldor motor that I have on my compressor (16 A):

but the HF motor is a lot smaller than Baldor.
