It will run, but you will pull more amps than you would while running on a 120v line and it will not run as fast or as efficiently. Bottom line: you'll use more electricity and your bill will be much higher. The motor will also run hotter.

∙ 14y agoShould be able to so long as the Hp (horsepower) or Kw rating is at least the same or more. In North America 115V is the nominal reading where the expected voltage out of the outlet could vary between 110 and 120.

∙ 10y agoAlmost all furnace blower motors run on 120 volts. The 240 volt supply to the furnace is typically just a three wire cable two "hots" and a neutral. Furnaces are generally wired to tap one of the two "hot" wires to the neutral wire to run the blower motor.

∙ 13y agoAll socket outlets for small appliances and lighting in the US, Canada - and other countries which use the same 60Hz ac standard single-phase electricity service - actually have a nominal voltage that is 120 volts plus or minus 10%. That means the actual voltage delivered to the outlet can vary between 108 volts and 132 volts and still be ok to use.
So the answer to this question is yes.
Depending on its age, a "115 volt" motor is probably rated to be used on 120 volts +/- 10% too!
Note: Over the last 100 years or so the 60 Hz national standard voltage has crept up from 100 volts to 110 volts to 115 volts to 120 volts. (The various US states and different countries each brought in those increases at different times.)

∙ 14y agoIt would depend on how many amps they used. If both fans were the same power, the 120 volt fan would use more amps than the 220 volt fan. Volts times amps = watts. A watt is a unit of power.

How can a relay be used to run a 9V electric motor?
A relay cannot be used to power a motor. It can be used to control the motor by wiring the motor circuit in series with the relay contacts.

What type of bearing would be fitted to a fractional kW electric motor?
The type of bearing that would be fitted to a fractional kW electric motor will depend on the model and maker of the motor. Deep grove ball bearings are the most common bearings used.
Can you use electric motor on generator insted of petrol motor?
of course you can.but the purpose of electricity is lost here.generators run by petrol or diesel engines are used because you dont have a electric supply or there is a power outage.if there is no power how can you run the electric motor which runs the generator.hence the generator is always coupled with and diesel IC engine.
