As suggested above Transformers do not work on DC installations. You will need to use two 12 VDC batteries in series with each other to obtain the 24 VDC needed to operate the motor. Connect a jumper between the two batteries with a wire the same size as the wire coming from the motor. The jumper will go from the negative of one battery to the positive of the second battery. The two remaining posts will connect to the motor and have a potential of 24 VDC.

If you are using two 12 volt batteries in series to run the 24 volt motor and you only have a 12 volt charger, charge the batteries one at a time. The batteries do not have to be disconnected from their series connection but make doubly sure that your polarities are correct when you connect the charger. If you have a 24 volt charger you can leave the batteries connected in series and charge them both at the same time.

For maximum endurance of a 12 volt trolling motor, wire the three 12 volt batteries in parallel with each other. All positive terminals together and all negative terminals together. Note- batteries that are wired in series will make the battery's voltages additive.

Can a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts without damage?

No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.


Will a 500volt 50hz squirrel cage motor run on 380volts 50hz?

No, the voltage of 500 volts is too high to operate a 380 volt motor.


Can a 220 volt motor run on 440 volts?

No it will fry the motor use a voltege reducer


Can you run a 480 volt machine with 600 volt incoming voltage?

Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.

No 380 volts is too wide a spread to use a 220 volt motor on.

No, you will need a commercial mixer for that.


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 two 12 volt batteries wired parallell last longer than one 12 volt on a trolling motor?

Possibly but you will have twice the amperage for sure. So the 2 batteries will run the trolling motor far longer. My guess is yes, they will last longer than just one battery. That is an educated guess.


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 run a 12 volt ac water pump with a 12 volt dc adapter?

No. You need 12 volt AC to run a 12 volt AC motor, not 12 volt DC.

Does it hurt a trolling motor if you run it out of the water?

Trolling motors do not need to be in the water to run. Though it is generally pointless to run one out of water for more than a test.
