Can this motor be started on a 110v outlet?

No it can not. You want to be careful of starting a 5hp motor on 110 volt ac, as the amp draw is between 4 and 5 times the running amps. Most 5hp 1ph motors will draw approx. 31 amps during normal operation, which mean, it will draw approx 150 amps during starting. All this on a 15 amp receptacle outlet.

I do not believe this motor has a 110V winding, however, even if it did, it could not be connected to a 110 V outlet unless it had a 30 amp breaker on it. This would require special wiring and a special outlet.

Simple answer, no it can not be. It can not be rewired for 110v and even if it could be it would require 32A at that voltage. 110v outlets are rated at 15A or in some cases 20A, but like I said, it can't run at that voltage anyway.

A 240V outlet may be too much power for the motor to handle it may burn the motor or cause a fire. It's best to buy a converter that will reduce it to a 120V just to be safe. Hope this helps. Nancy

Yes, it does require 110V. power. The igniter and the fan is electrically driven.

I'm not an expert but if you plug this into a 220v outlet you will burn the motor out. However, I can 't believe that they would sell it if it was not compatible with the local power supply.

I'm sure you could it's just an electric switch. You will need 12 volts to power it. They have a 110 version also.

Who knows. You just plug it into a regular 110 outlet. It's a small motor so it can't be that much.

I think the motor would have to be changed. I don't know if a 220v motor is available. As for power, wattage would be the same. With double the volts the amps used would be cut in half. volts X amps = volts. Peace.

I looked up your motor and it looks like it's a 230 volt, so I'd have to say no. This motor is 115V.

It has a 125v power cord, could be used on 110v socket directly. It works for me.

Yes, this works on 110 voltage, but I do NOT recommend this appliance. It is cheap, does not work well, and is weak. Pay a little more and get a better machine.

where did you order your motor from? If from the USA it will be a 110 volt and you will burn the motor out without a transformer

no it has a standard 2 prong 110v plug with no ground - you might be able to split the load from the power supply though,

I do not know the answer to that question. I suspect not since it is a normal 110v appliance, most common to small appliances used in the United States. I think that any electrician could answer the question, knowing it is a 110v piece of equipment. Possibly using a voltage step down converter, might work, although I have no technical knowledge to support that.

I do not think that this machine can work on 220V.There is no switch for 220V.Motor must be running on correct voltage.The manufacturer can provide full information.

It requires 120VAC.The wiring must be removed (easily done) from the old motor you're replacing and connected to this new replacement.It will then plug into an electric outlet (if your old one did).

I doubt it, I suspect your motor may be a capacitor start and a higher than 2.5 amp load, which are specifically not supported.
