Description
Overview
The EMAX ESP10V120V3-208 is a Silent Air Industrial Plus 10 HP, 120-gallon two-stage reciprocating air compressor on 208/230V three-phase power. It delivers 38 CFM at 100 PSI from a four-cylinder cast iron pump.
The three-phase TEFC motor draws lower running amps than the single-phase version and is built for continuous duty. Combined with the 120-gallon tank, automatic drain, and belt tensioner, this unit is set up for a shop that runs air all day. The pump builds to 175 PSI. The Silent Air design runs noticeably quieter than a standard open compressor, which matters when the unit sits in an occupied shop bay.
Key Features
- 38 CFM at 100 PSI - 10 HP four-cylinder two-stage pump output for steady air delivery.
- Two-stage pressure to 175 PSI - on an 120-gallon vertical tank that holds reserve for demand spikes.
- Pressure-lubricated pump - a gear-driven oil pump feeds each bearing for continuous-duty cooling and long pump life.
- Cast iron pump - crankcase, cylinders, and heads in cast iron for heat tolerance under load.
- 208/230V three-phase power - TEFC motor on a 50 amp recommended breaker.
- Belt tensioner and isolator pads - simplify belt service and cut transmitted vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much air does the ESP10V120V3-208 deliver?
It is rated at 38 CFM at 100 PSI from a 10 HP pump, with a maximum pressure of 175 PSI. Size your tools to stay within that delivery at working pressure.
What power does it require?
It runs on 208/230V three-phase power with a recommended 50 amp breaker. Confirm your service before installation.
Is the pump pressure or splash lubricated?
This pump is pressure lubricated. A gear-driven oil pump delivers oil to the bearings and connecting rods, which suits higher duty cycles.
What maintenance does it need?
Routine care is oil changes, belt checks, and tank draining. EMAX rates the pump for an estimated 70,000 hours of service life with proper maintenance, and service kits are available.
What is the running-amp advantage of three phase here?
The three-phase TEFC motor draws lower full-load amps than the single-phase 10 HP unit and is rated for continuous duty, which suits shops with a three-phase panel and steady demand.
