Generally, NO. On the other hand, a few motors were designed to be "convertible," in that their original windings were designed to work on multiple voltages by altering the wiring at the junction box terminals on the motor.

If it's not shown on a label inside the motor's junction box you'll need to find the Installation Guide for the motor, either by going on-line to the manufacturer's web site or by asking an electrical parts supplier for the info.

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.

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.


How do you rewire a 110 volt HID Magnetic coil ballast to use 220 volt?

Rewiring a 110 volt HID magnetic coil ballast to operate on 220 volts would require replacing the existing ballast with one designed for 220 volts. Attempting to rewire the ballast could lead to overheating, electrical failures, or even safety hazards. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician or purchase a new ballast suitable for 220 volts.


How do you convert a German 220 volt chandelier to USA 110 volt?

If you want mood lighting just connect it as is, the brightness of the bulbs will be half. If you want full brightness change the bulbs to 120 volt with bulbs of the same wattage as the 220 volt bulbs.


Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?

The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.


Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?

No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.


How do you wire 347 volts ballast to 110 volt feed?

You don't. A ballast with a 347 volt input is a commercial ballast. The 347 volts comes from a 600 volt three phase four wire Y system. You can change the ballast out to a 120 volt and rewire the unit but in most cases it is cheaper to buy a completely new lighting fixture.


How many amps does a 110 volt 1.3 kw motor draw?

110 volts divided by 1,300 watts(1.3 kw) = .09 kw or 900 watts.


How do you rewire a 220 volt motor to run as a 110 volt motor on a old Howell electric motor?

Determine which leads are run leads, and which are start leads, or which are a combination of both. Once determined the overall solution is to parallel the windings externally, where at a higher voltage 1 motor lead per line is used, 2 would used per line in parallel. Leads marked 1 through 4 would be connected 1 to line, and 4 to line with 2 and 3 electrically connected and isolated as a series connection for the higher 220 single phase voltage. Rewire or reconnecting if possible to 110 would then be connected motor lead 1 and 3 to one of the 110 volt lines and the remaining motor leads 2 and 4 to the other 110 volt line. In some cases the parallel connection could be 1 and 2 to line, and 3 and 4 to line for 110 volts. It makes no difference on an induction single phase motor which line from the 110 either hot or neutral is connected to either pair of motor leads.


What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?

Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.

How do you convert 120 volt machine to 110 volt plug?

No conversion needed. These are nominal voltages which range from 110 to 120 volts. It will operate fine on the outlet.
