The voltage of the motor does not determine the power. However it does determine how many Fla... Or full load amp it will have when the motor is at highest speed. Usually the lower the voltage the higher the amps On the same motor. Most motors will have a name plant with this information and you should always get the amount of horsepower motor you need and make sure it will be compatible with your power source.

What is the difference between 120 and 240 volts?
voltage is the PUSH on electrons seriously 120 volts is the difference of 240...Simply said 240 volts is 2 times as strong as 120 volts.
What is a 120 to the power of 2?
120^2 = 14400.
What is 12 the power of 0?
120 = 1
What number is 120 more than 235?
It is: 235+120 = 355
What is 2 to the 2nd power times 3 times 5?
120
Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
Can a 780 watt uninterruptible power supply handle a 12.5 amp pump motor at 120 volts?
Volts * Amps = Watts 120 Volts * 12.5 Amps = 1500 Watts Doesn't sound like a good idea.
Can a 240 volt sub panel run 115 volt motor?
In Europe 240 volts is standard, so no a 115 volt motor will not work. In USA 120 volts is standard, so if your sub-panel has 120 volts, (check with voltage meter) then yes. Read carefully, To get 240 volts in a sub-panel in USA the electric company brings two (2) wires, each wire has 120 volts, 120 + 120 = 240. One of those 120 volts will run your motor. Look for the wires from the electric company and check them with your voltage meter. If this is a commercial application you will need to call an electrical contractor, power companies for commercial applications do not follow the above.
A power supply receives 120 volts of power from a wall outlet and converts it to?
A power supply receives 120 volts of AC power from a wall outlet and converts it to 3.3, 5, and 12 volts of DC power.
How much power flows through a circuit with 1 amp and 120 volts?
120 power flows through a circuit with 1 amp and 120 volts.
Which consumes more power 480 volts or 240 volts?
Volts isn't power. Volts times amps is power, also known as watts. Thus 480 volts at 2 amps consumes 960 watts, which is the same power usage of 240 volts at 4 amps or 120 volts at 8 Amps.
What type of motor is the inducer motor?
A circuit board is the inducer motor. It runs off of 120 volts.
What is SPL horsepower?
SPL means the motor is Split-Phase, on the motor where you found that it should have two numbers, i.e. 120/240 SPL HP. Meaning the motor operates different given 120 volts compared with 240 volts.
What does a power supply receive 120 volts of?
ELECTRICITYNote: Some power supplies operate on 120 volts 60 Hz ac but others operate on 230 volts 50 Hz ac.Which voltage your power supply uses depends on which country you are in.For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
Which is cheaper 230 wolt or 120 volt?
THE COST OF THE POWER IS THE SAME FROM THE UTILITIES PERSPECTIVE. IF YOU ARE REFFERING TO EQUIPMENT, THE 240 EQUIPMENT IS SLIGHTLY LESS COSTLY TO OPERATE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE MOTOR NAME PLATE RATING LABEL OF A MULTI-VOLTAGE MOTOR, YOU WILL FIND THAT THE CURRENT (AMPS) WILL BE ABOUT 1/2 AT 240 VOLTS THE MOTOR AMPS OF THE SAME UNIT AT 120 VOLTS. LC
What is the resistance of a 120-W incandescent lamp connected to a 120-V power supply?
Power (watts) = current (amperes) * voltage (volts) Current (amperes) = voltage (volts)/resistance (ohms) 120 watts = current * 120 volts current = 1 ampere 1 ampere = 120 volts/resistance resistance = 120 ohms
When 120 volts is applied to a rated 240 volt motor can it ruin the motor?
Yes, if you try to continuously run the motor at 120 volts. It may run, but at a slower speed. The slower speed will not provide enough cooling for the windings, and thus it will eventually be destroyed. No, if you incorrectly wired it at 120 volts, and then rewired it correctly, for the HIGHER 240 volts. Keep in mind that there are many different types of motors out there and this answer only applies to this specific application.
