You need to use a 2:1 ratio transformer, with a capacity (in volt amperes) to match the load you have in mind.

Can you use a 115 unit in a 230 plug?

No, it is not safe to use a 115V unit in a 230V plug as it may damage the appliance or cause a safety hazard. It is important to match the voltage requirements of the appliance with the power supply to avoid any damage or potential accidents.


Can PVC bell wire be operated at 230v?

No bell wire is not meant to be 230V.


1000w 24v dc is equal to how many watt in 230V AC?

To convert 1000W at 24V DC to an equivalent wattage at 230V AC, you can use the formula P = VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. First, calculate the current at 24V DC using P = VI. Then, use this current with 230V to find the equivalent power at 230V AC.


How do you tell if a motor is 115V or 230V?

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.


You have an old Gould 2hp elect motor that you want to switch from 230v to 110v The existing connections do not match directions in earlier question and suggested 110v connections differ from mtr diag?

2 HP, A-C Single phase, 115/230 volt motor. And you wish to operate it on 115V. First the circuit size would need to be a min. of 30amp/ #10wire.... Being a Gould is this a pump/motor? I ask because single phase pump motor are not reversible, so they have less leads to connect..Is the motor thermaly protected (check name plate) Again less leads to connect if not therm-protected. How many lead motor is it, and what are the leads #. If it is 4 leads and # t1,t2,t3,t4 connect line1 to t1 and t3 connect line2 to t2 and t4. Let me know what the # are and how many leads their are.. I would not operate a motor that large on 115V, (1HP is about max on 115V)

How do you change 115V to230V Gould only has 5 terminal?

To change 115V to 230V using a device with five terminals, you can use a step-up transformer designed for this purpose. Connect the primary side of the transformer to the 115V supply, ensuring that the appropriate terminals are used for input. The secondary side will provide the 230V output. Ensure that the transformer is rated for the required power and that all connections comply with electrical safety standards.


Any advantages in wiring a single speed pool pump 230V vs 115V electrician says cheaper to wire 115V?

Your electrician is correct on this. However, the pump is designed for 230V and will use less electricity, thus saving money if wired for 230V. Yeah, if you have to rewire for 230 V then it would be more expensive until your savings had consumed or offset the expense.


Will a 15A 115V air conditioner work properly in a 15A 230V air conditioner electrical outlet?

Absolutely not.


How many voltage does an air handler use?

residential usually 115v or 230v. Commercial could be 115, 208-230 or 460


Is 115 v good for home theater?

If you live in an area that uses 115V as the mains supply, then it's absolutely fine. Equipment sold in the area will be designed to operate on that voltage and there is no difference in performance between 115V equipment and 230V equipment.


How many volts does a computer monitor use?

from the wall it could be 115v ac, or in non American countries that use it 230v ac. internal voltages range from 12v dc, 5v dc, 3.3v dc.

Do i need to switch circuit breaker since i went from 115V well pump to 230V well pump it is also a higher HP pump but pressure is lower than before?

The 230v breaker is 2-pole, The 115v is only single-pole so YES you need a new breaker. DON'T use 2 single-pole breakers instead. The well pump will run to the pressure setting of the pressure switch controlling it, regardless of HP. The difference might be in the size of the pump in flow rating, I.E. a 1/2 HP pump rated at 10gpm @ 70 psi won't perform the same as a 3/4 HP pump rated at 20 gpm @ 50 psi. Check the pump curve and pressure switch setting. The pressure switch for the new pump will need both power leads connected to the switch (1 lead per contact set), not 1 wire as the 115v motor was.
