Is it 110/220 or just 220? There is a difference and also is it single phase or 3 phase?
<><><>
Generally, NO. On the other hand, a few motors were designed to be "convertible," in that their original windings were designed to work on multiple voltages by altering the wiring at the junction box terminals on the motor.
If it's not shown on a label inside the motor's junction box you'll need to find the Installation Guide for the motor, either by going on-line to the manufacturer's web site or by asking an electrical parts supplier for the info.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

∙ 15y agoUnless it is a dual voltage motor it has to be sent to a rewind shop. There they cook the old winding out and completely rewind the coils and reinstall them into the old motor frame, then re-stamp the nameplate with the new amperage and voltage. If it is a dual voltage motor, reconfiguration of the wires at the motor junction box will do the job.

∙ 14y agoIf it is a 220 volt motor with split windings to run on 110 volts then there is usually a connection chart on the motor somewhere on or behind the motor wiring cover plate. There will be at least 4 lugs for running it in series for 220V or parallel for 110V and possibly a couple more terminals to reverse its direction.
Enter the model number of the motor on an internet search engine and see if you can find a wiring diagram.

∙ 15y agoIf it isn't a dual voltage motor you get it rewound. If cost is a factor then buy a 120 volt motor as the cost for a rewind is expensive due to the labour cost.

Can you run a double phase motor on home 220 volt system?
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
Can you rewire a mixer 120 volt motor to run a 220 volts?
No, you will need a commercial mixer for that.
Can 220 volt be the source at the panel and 120 volt out from the panel?
No, the source voltage can not change to a lower voltage without using equipment to do so.
Can a 240 volt sub panel run 115 volt motor?
In Europe 240 volts is standard, so no a 115 volt motor will not work. In USA 120 volts is standard, so if your sub-panel has 120 volts, (check with voltage meter) then yes. Read carefully, To get 240 volts in a sub-panel in USA the electric company brings two (2) wires, each wire has 120 volts, 120 + 120 = 240. One of those 120 volts will run your motor. Look for the wires from the electric company and check them with your voltage meter. If this is a commercial application you will need to call an electrical contractor, power companies for commercial applications do not follow the above.
How do you know whether to get 120 volt or 130 volt light bulb?
If you want your bulbs to last longer then use 130 volt bulb on a 120 volt system. The light emitted by a 130 volt bulb, when comparing it to a 120 volt bulb, will be a bit dimmer.
Can a 220 volt side lamp be used on 120 volt?
Yes. But not the other way. 120 volt one, cannot withstand 220volt.
Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
What type of motor is the inducer motor and a furnaces?
A 120 volt motor is the inducer motor. It works the furnace.
How can you rewire your 220 volt motor to run on 120 volts?
If a motor is designed to run on different voltages there will be a wiring diagram on motor plate for 120 volt wiring. If not you will have to use a step up transformer to convert 120 V to the higher voltage.
Can you use 600VOLT motor in 220VOLT supply through a transformer?
Usually with a voltage of 600 volts the motor will be three phase. To use a transformer with that motor you will need a three phase 240 volt service. These days utility companies are moving away from three phase 240 and substituting it with 120/208. The 208 three phase service has the added bonus that 120 volts can be obtained from the star point (grounded neutral).
Is there a 120 AC dimmer switch wiring diagram for 24 volt DC motor?
The output of a 120 volt dimmer switch will be an AC voltage so should not be used on a DC motor.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
Can you run a double phase motor on home 220 volt system?
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?
It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.
Can you rewire a mixer 120 volt motor to run a 220 volts?
No, you will need a commercial mixer for that.
How many current needed for the starting of a 5 horse power single phase motor?
120 volt
How do you connect 380V motor on three phase line 110V?
There are no three phase 120 volt systems.
