No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.

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.
What is the maximum volts that can be used on a 208 230 volt motor?
You should not go above 240 volts for that type of motor.
Can you run a 480 volt machine with 600 volt incoming voltage?
Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.
Is it safe to run a 4.5 volt motor at 3 volts?
Already answered as fully as possible without knowing exactly which motor from what appliance or manufacturer, year etc
Will a 500volt 50hz squirrel cage motor run on 380volts 50hz?
No, the voltage of 500 volts is too high to operate a 380 volt motor.
How can one tell the voltage of an electric motor?
It is possible to check the resistance of the motor leads compared to a known motor. You can also connect the leads to 120 volts temporarily. If the motor hums and runs slowly or not at all it is a 220 volt motor. If it runs normally, then it is a 120 volt motor. Testing should be done for only a few seconds so if the motor is designed to be run on 220 volts, you don't overheat or damage it on 120 volts.AnswerRead the nameplate information.
Can a 220 volt motor run on 440 volts?
No it will fry the motor use a voltege reducer
Can you run 220 volt motor compressor a 380 volt supply using power inverter?
No 380 volts is too wide a spread to use a 220 volt motor on.
Can you wire a 12 volt DC adaptor into a machine that takes 4 D batteries without ruining it?
Four D batteries in series produce nominally 6 volts (1.5 volts per cell). A 12-volt supply may damage the machine built to run on 6 volts.
Will 220 volt work in a high volt 3 phase motor?
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
How many volts to run a 48 Volt club car electric motor?
If a 48 Volt club car electric motor requires 48 volts, then it should be given a 48 volt power source, or something close to it. Too many more volts and it may burn out; not enough volts and it may not run or it will try to draw too much power and burn out the power supply.
How can you tell if a motor is a 6 volt or a 12 volt?
Look on the motor case and the correct voltage should be printed there. Otherwise, see if it runs at the right speed on 6 volts.
