Can you burn your attic fan motor on 138 volts when it should be 110 volts?

When you say burn, I assume you're asking if the voltage change will fry it. That depends. My first reaction is probably not, but it really has to do with the power rating. If you're running AC power to this fan, the calculations involved in determining the exact power going in vs the power rating are going to involve imaginary numbers and calculus. If this were my fan I would probably just do it, understanding that even if it doesn't burn it out immediately, the increase in voltage will probably cause it to wear out faster. Will the difference be noticeable? Once again, I want to say probably not.

I have a coolant motor with 420 volts in Lathe Machine but the supply voltage will be 480 volts. Can 420 volts 50Hz coolant motor can use in 480 volts 60Hz?
No, you'll burn your lathe motor up immediately. (it might last 30 seconds before it literally smokes.) You'll need to buy and install a "buck-boost" type transformer to drop the voltage from 480 to 420V. Best to have a qualified commercial electrician wire it up if you value your lathe.
When 120 volts is applied to a rated 240 volt motor can it ruin the motor?
Yes, if you try to continuously run the motor at 120 volts. It may run, but at a slower speed. The slower speed will not provide enough cooling for the windings, and thus it will eventually be destroyed. No, if you incorrectly wired it at 120 volts, and then rewired it correctly, for the HIGHER 240 volts. Keep in mind that there are many different types of motors out there and this answer only applies to this specific application.
How long will a 230volt fan motor run on 115 volts?
No long. It will burn up and hopefully trip the breaker. This would be dangerous. <<>> The fan will operate at half speed. It may run a bit hotter but no damage will be done.
Can a 220 volt furnace motor be converted to run on 110 volts?
Some motors have a provision for connecting the individual windings in series or parallel to allow a choice of two different line voltages. Those motors have an externally accessible terminal board on them and their dual-voltage capability is usually indicated on the nameplate. Unfortunately, very few motors have this capability. The only other way to run a 220 volt motor (actually it's 240 volts and 120 volts) from a 120 volt line is to use a 1:2 step up transformer. The transformer must be able to handle the current drawn by the motor; typically 3 to 5 amperes at 240 volts. Considering the cost of such a transformer, it's probably as cost effective to just replace the motor.
In your home your stove and your electric dryer usually run on volts?
Household appliances usually have a voltage of either 110 or 220 volts; there should be a sticker somewhere that tells you the voltage for specific appliances. Make sure you don't plug it into the wrong voltage. Especially plugging an equipment designed for 110V into an outlet that gives 220V will burn your equipment.
How many volts to run a 48 Volt club car electric motor?
If a 48 Volt club car electric motor requires 48 volts, then it should be given a 48 volt power source, or something close to it. Too many more volts and it may burn out; not enough volts and it may not run or it will try to draw too much power and burn out the power supply.

Will it hurt a 4.8 volt dc electric motor if you put greater then 4.8 volts on it?
Yes. DC motors require the specified supply voltage to operate correctly. Supplying a higher voltage to it will burn up the motor.
How long should you run sump pump so the motor doesn't burn out?

Your husband was shocked with 480 volts at work and he is not feeling well and he has a burn where he was zapped what should he do?
There may be some internal damage, he should see a doctor.
How hot does an attic have to get to catch fire?
Hot enough to burn wood.
What would happen if a 12 volt dc geared motor is run with 19 volts?
The motor would operate above its rated RPM. The motor would start to get hot as the current draw would be greater. This might eventually burn the insulation off of the windings and cause the motor to short circuit.
Why your alternator only charges 27volts?
No alternator should EVER charge at 27 volts. That's enough voltage to burn up the computer.
Will 24 volts battery ruin a 12 volt motor?
Yes it will burn the motor in less than a minute. Use a 12 V battery to run a 12 V motor. Not exactly true. I rebuilt many engines and often to get them turned over I would use two batteries hooked up for 24 volts. The ignition was wired for 12 volts. When an engine is personally rebuilt it can be very hard to turn over. Once it runs a bit, I revert back to 12 volts. As long as you don't run the motors too long (meaning 4-6 revolutions) or to the point where they get hot, they should be fine. Electronics is another matter. Starter motors are often built with heavy wiring and can take the heat.
Would 120 volts 60Hz power tools work on 220 volts 50Hz?
No, the extra voltage will burn them out very quickly !
