Dual voltage 115 230 volt motor wiring diagram.

Changing the operating voltage of a motor is just a matter of switching a few wires around on the motor s terminal plate. Such motors will typically have six leads coming out of the motor to the wiring box or some of the connections may be screw terminals. I don t have 220 230 volt outlet. Residential power is usually in the form of 110 to 120 volts or 220 to 240 volts.

Some motors allow both 120 volt and 240 volt wiring by providing a combination of wires for doing so. In north america many single phase motors motors in the range of 1 hp to 2 hp can be rewired to run at either 120 volts or 240 volts or 115 vs 230 volts it depends on what voltage is assumed nominal. By switching these wires you change internal wiring for the run windings and the start windings from a parallel hook up for 115 volts to a series hook up for 230 volts.
