You need to connect a compressor which is rated at 240V ac but it is hooked up to a 120V power supply so you're uncertain on how that could be and how to connect the compressor?

Your compressor is a dual voltage compressor. The original installer followed the instructions to switch it (probably internally) to the 230 volt setting or to internally wire it for that voltage. The label or information plate on the unit may only indicate the higher voltage rating. You don't have to do anything.

Why should you not connect a 6 V battery into a circuit that requires a D cell?
A D cell battery supplies nominally 1.5V. Connecting a 6V supply in it's place would supply an extra 4.5V and could potentially damage the circuit components.
How do you wire an air compressor?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.This is for a single phase air compressor whose magnetic contactor's coil voltage is the same as the supply line voltage. Take a wire from one of the line terminals L1 to one side of the contactor coil. Take another wire from the second line terminal L2 and put it to one side of a N.C. contact on the magnetic contactor's overload block. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the O/L block take a wire to the N.C. terminal on the pressure switch. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the pressure switch terminal connect the wire to the other side of the magnetic contactor's coil.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.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What is ac and DC supplies?
AC supply means the supply voltage is alternating one. Supply has some particular frequency and magnitude. e.g. usual power supply to domestic use DC supply means the supply voltage (or current) is not alternating. It is fixed one. i.e. frequency is zero. e.g. batteries
What is the largest component of the money supply?
The largest component of the money supply is the checking account.
Relationship between demand and supply?
1:inverse relationship between supply and demand 2:supply depends upon the demand of a commodity, that it might be positive or negative. 3:supply always depends upon demand but demand never depends to supply. 4:a supply never affects the demand of a commodity but demand always affect to its supply. 5:demand is the initial stage but supply is the stage after demand. 6:supply have a positive relations to price whereas demand has a negative relations with price. 7:supply and price has a direct relations or positive relation. 8:law of supply relates to the price and supply of a particular commodity in a particular time period. 9:price has a connections with demand and supply that it affects both supply in a positive way and demand in a negative way and if price changes then both demand and supply will change. 10:demand curve shows the changes positions of demand in a different price level of a particular commodity where demand schedule also shows the changes positions of demand in a different price level of a particular commodity, hence both have a common objectives to depict the same result in a different way.
What is the Conclusion of air compressor?

How do you troubleshoot home air condition compressor?
check starting capacitors. Check voltage supply with a voltmenter from outlet to compressor.
How do you wire an older 2 wire 30 amp compressor to a 3 wire 30 amp dryer plug?
I am guessing that the dryer is 220-240 VAC as is the compressor. I also assume that the third wire on the dryer is a ground. You need to make sure that the metal chassis on the compressor is not connected to the two wires. You then need to create a covered junction box where you have the two existing wires and a ground wire that you connect to the compressor metal chassis with a screw type connector. Ground wire should be 10 AWG. Now you have three wires. Connect the two hot wires of supply to two original wires on compressor and ground wire to the chassis ground.

Can you connect 240 3 ph motor to 480 3 ph by dropping a leg?
Absolutely not. The rated voltage of the motor must match the supply voltage or at least be within 10%. The 240 V motor will be damaged or destroyed if hooked up in this manner.
What is used to connect the supply duct to the supply end of the ECU?

How do you connect a 230V lamp to a 415V supply with no neutral?
Theoretically, you could connect three identical lamps in star (wye) and connect this to the three line conductors. But as you asked how to connect a (single) 230-V lamp to the supply, then the answer is by using a step-down transformer.
How do you supply air to a tractor trailer?
They have their own air compressor which provides air to the system.
How do you connect an ammeter and voltmeter?
The voltmeter is connected across the supply and the ammeter is connected in series with the supply.
