Atlas Air Force AF10 Plus — 10HP 3-Phase 120 Gallon Compressor
A shop with three-phase power shouldn't buy single-phase equipment — three-phase motors run cooler, last longer, and don't fight their own panel. The Atlas Air Force AF10 Plus (3-Phase) is the same 10-horsepower, 120-gallon platform as the single-phase model, built for 230VAC three-phase service: 37 CFM at 90 PSI, the full Plus Package, and a low-RPM pump that keeps a working shop livable.
For shops weighing the AF-15, this is the honest middle: enough air for a busy multi-bay shop, at a motor size that doesn't demand the industrial CFM case to justify it.
Who the Atlas Air Force AF10 Plus (3-Phase) Is Built For
- Multi-bay shops with three-phase service — the 230VAC 3PH motor is the right electrical marriage for a panel that already has it, running cooler and steadier than a 1-phase motor worked at the edge.
- Shops needing the 37 CFM class without the AF-15's price and footprint — the same delivered air as the single-phase AF10, on the better motor for a 3-phase building.
- Buyers who want the Plus Package standard — aftercooler, low-oil shut-off, auto tank drain, magnetic starter: factory-fitted.
- Shops consolidating compressor noise and maintenance into one US-made 120-gallon ASME unit.
- Shops planning future growth toward the AF-15 class — the 3-phase infrastructure this unit uses scales up from here.
What the Atlas Air Force AF10 Plus (3-Phase) Is NOT Built For
This is not for single-phase buildings — the 1-phase AF10 exists for that panel, and buying 3-phase equipment you can't feed is wasted money. It's not for hobbyists (the 60-gallon single-stage class fits), and not for shops whose CFM demand genuinely needs the 15HP class.
Important sizing note: confirm 230VAC three-phase service with an electrician, measure the floor (72" × 32" footprint, 52" tall), and tally continuous CFM demand before purchase. Questions on fit? Call (817) 865-3707 before ordering — we confirm compatibility, not guesses.
What Makes the Atlas Air Force AF10 Plus (3-Phase) Different
10 horsepower on three-phase power
37 CFM at 90 PSI / 35 at 175 on 230VAC 3PH — the cooler-running, longer-lived motor for shops that have the service.
- 10 HP, 230VAC 3PH 60Hz
- 37 CFM @ 90 / 35 @ 175 PSI
- 145–175 PSI range
Plus Package standard
Aftercooler, automatic low-oil shut-off, automatic tank drain, magnetic starter — factory-fitted.
US-made 120-gallon ASME tank
Horizontal steel tank, made in the USA — the reserve that keeps tool performance steady when the shop is busy.
Best For
- Multi-bay shops with 3-phase
- 37 CFM class demand
- Plus Package standard
- Future AF-15 scalability
Not Ideal For
- Single-phase buildings (see AF10 1PH)
- Hobbyists (see AF3/AF4)
- 15HP-class demand

❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Atlas Air Force AF10 Plus (3-Phase)
What's the difference between this and the 1-phase AF10?
Same compressor platform — 10HP, 37 CFM @ 90 PSI, 120-gallon US-made tank, Plus Package. The difference is the motor: 230VAC three-phase vs 220V single-phase. Your panel decides.
How much air does it make?
37 CFM at 90 PSI and 35 CFM at 175 PSI, in a 145–175 PSI operating band.
Should I just buy the AF-15 instead?
Only if the CFM math says so — the AF-15 adds 15 CFM and demands a genuinely industrial air demand to justify it. Many multi-bay shops never use what the AF10 makes.
What's in the Plus Package?
An aftercooler, automatic low-oil shut-off, automatic tank drain, and a magnetic starter — standard.
