No, a watt is a watt, the voltage only changes the wire size. The power company bills you based on kilowatt hours. 1hp = 746 watts, no matter what the voltage.
can you plug a 115 volt into a 110 volt
In Europe 240 volts is standard, so no a 115 volt motor will not work. In USA 120 volts is standard, so if your sub-panel has 120 volts, (check with voltage meter) then yes. Read carefully, To get 240 volts in a sub-panel in USA the electric company brings two (2) wires, each wire has 120 volts, 120 + 120 = 240. One of those 120 volts will run your motor. Look for the wires from the electric company and check them with your voltage meter. If this is a commercial application you will need to call an electrical contractor, power companies for commercial applications do not follow the above.
The wiring instructions for wiring a dual voltage motor are on the underside of the lid of the motors junction box. If it is not there look on the Internet for winding dual voltage motor connections.
First and foremost you should look at the nameplate. If the nameplate is unreadable then you will do no harm plugging it into a 115 volt supply. If the motor looks like it is running at full speed then it is a 115 volt motor. If you plug it in and it looks like the shaft is turning at about half speed then it is a 230 volt motor. If the motor is running slow don't leave it plugged in for more that 15 seconds. Find a 230 volt supply and plug it in, it should run at the right speed. If you have a shaft tachometer use it on the end of the shaft to get an accurate rotation speed. The above prompted comparison with another motor, with the same RPM rating, allowing a simple feel of the shafts for a close speed match. The help is appreciated.
There is no need to convert a 110-volt outlet to 115 volts as they are essentially the same. The slight variation is within the normal tolerance range for electrical systems. If you need to use a device that requires 115 volts, you can safely plug it into a 110-volt outlet without the need for an adapter.
115 Volt and a 110 Volt can be treated as the same thing. The electrical voltage supplied from your electric company is not exact and can be 120 Volt + or - 10%.
Yes the 115 volts you read is just the maximum it will handle.
The wiring should allow for 115 amps.
can you plug a 115 volt into a 110 volt
yes, most 115 volt devices will work with any voltage from 100 to 130 volts with no problem.
If it's bad, the pump motor will not start. It can be checked with a volt meter. You should have either 115 volts or 230 volts in and the same going to the motor.

Yes
Since one horsepower is 745 watts, a 115 volt 1 hp motor would pull about 6.5 amperes, depending on power factor.Note:That may be a theoretical value. However, practically speaking, single phase A.C. motors are notoriously inefficient. That is the reason the National Electrical Code lists the full load current of a 1 HP, 115 volt motor at 16 amps. That value is considered nominal and can vary depending on motor design. That value does not begin to factor in inrush current.The best advice is to utilize the manufacturer's motor nameplate value.
