The answer to that question is entirely dependent on the motor. Many motors have an access plate where the power feeds into the motor. Removing that plate often reveals a wiring diagram that shows how to change the wiring to reverse the motor direction.

But most AC electric motors do not provide the option of reversing direction.

What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?

On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.


How can you supply 220v machine to 208v supply?

Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.


What happens to the output in terms of real power of a generator when you change the voltage and frequency say from 220v 50Hz to 110v 60Hz?

The voltage and frequency ARE the output of the generator. If you change the fuel to the generator, it will change speed, and the voltage will change. Less fuel = less speed = lower frequency = lower voltage.


Can a 3 phase motor run off 110 volts?

Yes. You will need to supply each phase with a separate 110V supply line. However make sure that the motor is designed to run at that voltage. Running the motor on load at a lower voltage than that which is on the name plate is dangerous because the motor will try to compensate for the reduction in power due to the lower voltage by demanding higher currents from the source. This will either result in damaging the motor or control circuits or causing bodily harm to yourself or someone else. Good luck.


What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?

Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.

No.


How can you change a 130v ac motor into a 110v ac?

To do it properly would require rewinding the motor with thicker wires in order to deal with the higher current caused by the higher voltage.


What type of motor is used in a 110V ac drill?

The motor for a 110v ac drill is a 14 amp motor. The 110v drill is used for household products and construction work. This is a tool that is not limited to wholesale purchases.


What is best to use 230volt or 110volt water pumps?

Either. Motor size or your available power local to the pump installation are the determining factors. If you have to use a large motor, 220v requires less amp draw on the circuit and allows a smaller wire than a large motor running 110v. If 110v is already there and you only need a small motor, run 110v.

Can you replace a 110V hospital bed motor with 220V motor?

Yes, if you rewire the bed and rewire the plug on the wall to 220 volts.


Can you replace the 240v plug on my 240v mitre saw with a 110v plug and run it off a 110v transformer?

Changing the plug will not change the power needed to run the saw. If the saw has a dual voltage motor then a wiring change can be done to switch the saw from 240 to 110 volts. If it is not a dual voltage system then the saw must be fed with 220 volts.


Can you run a 60hz 110V motor on 50 hz 220V with a step down transformer?

NO dear we can not rotate a 110 vlolt motor on 220,but if your voltage is 110v then y can rotate it on 50hz ,no problem,but it will rotate at lower speed, ENGR. NASEER AHMED,PAKISTAN

Did you burn up your motor if you plugged in 220V to a 110V?

Yes, although you might have lucked out and tripped the breaker first.
