Normally this is not an option as single phase and three phase motors are built differently it is also very dangerous to try hooking it up this way. You can try taking it to a motor shop and having it rebuilt but the costs associated are really not worth it and most "reputable" motor repair shops will not attempt this. It will be cheaper and cause less problems to just purchase the correct motor for the application. Trying to retrofit anything to something other than its intended purpose is hard, expensive, and dangerous. So once again I would not attempt this.
It may not blow, but it will turn twice as fast and burn out very quickly. It is meant for 110 only. Check the sump pump. Some of them can be wired either 120v or 240v. If yours is like that, just wire the motor for 240v and plug it in.
It sounds like you have a three phase motor that you are trying to put in where you have a single phase 120volt motor. You can purchase a three phase inverter, but the cost will exceed the cost of the new motor sized for the right wiring and voltage.
To wire a 120V A base emitter for 120V, you would typically connect the emitter to the ground, the base to the input voltage source (120V), and the collector to the load. Ensure you follow proper safety precautions and consult the specific datasheet for the A base emitter you are using for correct wiring instructions.
For a 120V 20A motor, you would typically use a 12-gauge wire to ensure it can handle the current without overheating. This wire size is suitable for the amperage and voltage to provide proper insulation and safe operation for the motor.
Connect the green wire to the ground terminal, the white wire to the neutral terminal, and the black wire to the hot terminal on the compressor motor. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines when wiring the power cord to the motor. If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.

sure it will
What specifically are you wiring? A light bulb would operate dim, a motor will burn up. The current increases thereby requiring larger wire and current protection.
In a 3-wire well pump system, the pump motor is connected to three wires: one for power, one for ground, and one for the start capacitor. In a 4-wire system, an additional wire is used for the start capacitor. The correct wiring diagram will show how to connect these wires to the pump motor and power source for proper operation.

Don't!
To wire a 120-volt well water pump, first ensure all power is off at the circuit breaker. Connect the pump's motor wires to the power supply wires: typically, the black wire from the pump connects to the black (hot) wire from the power supply, and the white wire connects to the white (neutral) wire. Use wire nuts to secure the connections and wrap them with electrical tape for insulation. Finally, ground the pump by connecting the green or bare copper wire to the grounding terminal.
