Short answer: No. (unless you like ruining motors)

Longer answer: Not really, but there are some motors that can be re-wired so that instead of 440v they will run on 220v. However, this is not that common.

Conclusion: Check the motor to see if it is dual-voltage on it's nameplate. If it is, you can re-connect it to work on 220v. If it is NOT a dual-voltage motor, you will absolutely ruin it if you connect it to 220v.

You are kidding right? If the motor is not rated to be connected for 440VAC, you would need a transformer to go from 440vac to 220vac. More information is needed to correctly answer this.

Can you have 2 3-phase sockets off the same supply?

yes you can. for example in a 380V 3 wire system the 4th wire or neutral gives 220 volts against each of the 3 phases so you can have 3phase 380 volt plugs as well as 220 V single phase plugs. ah and by the way you can have as many 3 phase plugs as you like or as the power supply can support ampere wise.


If you have a 240V outlet for a window AC unit can you connect a switch to shut the outlet off?

Yes, just make sure it is a 220 volt switch.


Can you plug110v to 220v outlet?

No. First off, the plug will be different. And even if you replace the plug, it won't work right on the wrong voltage


Can you install a 3-way switch on a 240V circuit and if so how is it wired?

I believe you'd have to use a standard set of three way switches and a contactor. Tie the 120 volt coil to the three way switches and the 220 volt contactor to the load.Unless your talking about a 277 volt load, then you can use 277 volt switches.Use a relayYou're probably better off trying to wire a separate 3-way switch circuit (at 110 or even 24 vAC) to control a heavy-duty relay that operates the 220-volt device.


Can you hook up a 110 volt ac to 220 volt outlet?

This is a VERY open ended question. Yes you can tap 110v, but since you have asked the question here, i would assume you know little about what you are doing and have the potential to hurt yourself. Be sure you have turned off the power at the breaker box befor you "tap" and then stand back when you are turning back on the power to test your idea.Better yet do it at a friends house 1st so they have to clean out the smoke and not you lol.

You have 380 volt electric motor 3 phas 7.5 kw you want to chang it to 240 volt can some one hepl pleas?

That's a powerful motor, and would need a supply greater than 13 amps at 240 volts, also the conversion might be difficult. I have a feeling that you would be better off finding out how powerful a motor you would need for the task you have, then buying a suitable 240 volt motor. You are heading into territory where you should really consult a qualified electrician.


What is a 230 Double pole Tork Clock made by Ansonia clock Company?

A wind up clock that operates a 220 volt switch to turn lights on an off at settable times. Just like ones used today, but no electric motor.


How much voltage does an air conditioner require?

That depends on the size and application of the unit. An automotive system runs off of 12 volts. In the USA, a household unit is 110 or 220 volt.


Can you run 440 volt appliances off a 220 volt supply?

The appliance should be marked with the correct voltage range, and the voltage applied must lie within this range. Otherwise it might be dangerous.


Can you have 2 3-phase sockets off the same supply?

Can you run 220 volt appliances off a 380 volt supply?

you could use a step down transformer if you had no other option. but the best thing to do is run a 220 feed directly from the fuse panel Step down transformers get very hot and do not last forever


Can you run 220vac on 120vac on battery charger?

Your question is confusing. First off a battery charger puts out DC voltage not AC. If you are asking if you can run a 120 volt battery charger on a 220 volt circuit the answer is no you cannot. That would destroy the charger.
