Choosing a replacement industrial motor starts with the machine on your shop floor. A motor that spins the wrong load, runs on the wrong voltage, or uses the wrong frame can turn a simple swap into a headache. These two single-phase motors sit at opposite ends of that decision: one is built for an air compressor, and the other is a compact unit for fans and trimmers.
Quick verdict
If you are repairing an air compressor or a machine built around a 184T frame, the 184T replacement motor is the direct match. If the project is a fan or trimmer, the YYF96-60-6 replacement motor covers it at a much lower price.
Comparison table
| Feature | 5 HP 184T Air Compressor Motor | YYF96-60-6 60W Fan/Trimmer Motor |
|---|---|---|
| Listed price | USD 455.00 | USD 24.99 |

| Power | 5 HP | 60W |

| Amperage | 28.5-27.0 A | 1.0A |
| AC phase | Single phase | Single phase |
| Condition | New | New |
Both motors are single-phase and listed as new, so the practical difference comes down to the scale of the job.
Where each product wins
The air compressor motor is the stronger choice for heavy compressor duty, with a steel ODTF enclosure and a stated 2-year manufacturer warranty. It is built for a permanent install where the machine already uses a matching frame. The fan/trimmer motor is the better fit for low-power fan and trimmer applications, with a 1250 RPM rating and a simple six-wire connection. Keep the two jobs separate: one motor is not a substitute for the other.
Product notes
5 HP 184T Air Compressor Motor
If the machine waiting for a motor is an air compressor or similar unit with a 184T frame, this steel-bodied replacement is the direct match. The listed 208-230V input and 28.5-27.0 A draw suit a heavy single-phase load, and the ODTF enclosure is built to handle the duty. A stated 2-year manufacturer warranty adds peace of mind for a permanent install. The limitation: this motor only makes sense when the equipment actually needs this much capacity and this frame size. For a small fan or trimmer, the size, power, and voltage requirements will be overkill, so reserve this motor for equipment that truly needs it.
YYF96-60-6 60W Fan/Trimmer Motor
This compact replacement is the right scale for a light fan or trimmer. It's a 110V induction/asynchronous motor rated at 60 Hz, draws 1.0A, and turns at 1250 RPM, so you know the speed before you install it. The six-wire setup keeps wiring straightforward for someone comfortable with basic motor connections. The trade-off: this is a 60W unit, not a heavy industrial motor. If the original machine is an air compressor or anything near 5 HP, this small motor will not deliver the torque or frame fit you need. Keep it for the light-duty jobs it's designed for.
Final choice by use case
If you are replacing a failed motor on an air compressor, the compressor-duty motor is the one to order. If you are fixing a fan or trimmer, the fan/trimmer replacement motor is the right scale. Use your old motor's voltage, frame, and power rating as the final guide, and the right pick becomes clear.
