Compressor Wiring

[BIGNASTY]

Need some help with some compressor wiring. Was given a compressor as a backup. Its wired for 220V operation need to figure out how to re-wire it for 110 V besides the plug anyone know what wire change would be required? There is an additional Thumbnail photo that I had trouble uploading that shows more info

Thanks BIG

You should assume the current will double. If that's 12 ga. wire; you probably want 10 ga; that is, go to the next lower gauge (heavier) wire.

Does the motor nameplate list dual voltages ie 110/220 ?. What are the amperage's listed at those values. There are certain motors that can not run on dual voltages.

There are usually diagrams for wiring on the name plate also.

Yes Dave the thumbnail at the bottom of the OP has a diagram, Model and is a dual voltage.

Man my eyes are terrible. Hard to make out the colors on diagram but with a million mega magnifying glass

6 (Brown) moves to 2
2( White ) moves to 4
1 will be incoming 120 Black
4 will be incoming White (Neutral)
You have a 20 amp circuit I presume
