You need to use a 2:1 ratio transformer, with a capacity (in volt amperes) to match the load you have in mind.
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.
No bell wire is not meant to be 230V.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
Absolutely not.
residential usually 115v or 230v. Commercial could be 115, 208-230 or 460
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.
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.

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.
it will not run
