Can an air conditioner unit running on 250 volts be run directly by 120 volts?

No, the unit has to operate on the voltage specified. The internal controls are all designed to operate on a 240 volt input. The motor in the air conditioner will not operate at the lower voltage and without this compressor motor operating the unit will not get cold.

Why does your air conditioner have two breakers?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.The use of two breakers supplies a voltage of 240 volts. These two breakers should be common ties together with a single handle. Your air conditioner must operate on 240 volts. To verify this check the nameplate on the unit for the voltage.
What unit is used to measure voltage drop?
volts.
How many BTU does kW electric heater put out running at three phase 465 volts?
Not enough information. You didn't specify the amount of kW - and you really can't calculate that, just from the volts. Once you know the amount of kW (which is a unit of power), you still need to multiply by time to get energy. Then you can do the appropriate conversion to BTU, which is also an energy unit.
What is the si unit of potential gradient?
Volts Per Meter
How many ma equal to 3 volts?
These do not convert. ma (milliamps) is a unit of electric current, while volts is a unit of voltage. They are related by Ohm's Law: V = I*R, with V is voltage (volts), I is current (amps), and R is resistance (Ohms).

Why is air conditioner running outside unit but not blowing inside?
If your air conditioner is running outside by not blowing cold air inside through your vent, your indoor coil is frozen. You will need to turn everything off and allow the unit to thaw out.
Does air conditioner blow cold air at 110volts 0r 220volts?
It blows air at how many volts it was designed for... an automotive unit will be 12 volts, heavy equipment uses 24 volts, a window unit in N. America will run 110 volts, while 220 and 440 volt systems are typically heavier household and industrial units.
How many watts make a volt?
Watts are a unit of power and Volts are a unit of electric potential, so they cannot be directly compared. However, Watts and Volts can be related byWatts = Volts * AmperesorWatts = (Volts^2) / Ohmswhere Amperes are a unit of current and Ohms are a unit of resistance. So, for example, if a lightbulb draws .333 Amps of current at 120 Volts, it is a 40 Watt bulb. (.333 A * 120 V = 40 W)
Why is my Air conditioner on but not blowing?
You mean the outside unit is running and blowing but the inside unit is not blowing? Shut it off! Who ain't blowing? Elaborate please..
Voltage is measured in what unit?
This unit is called volts.
Does your air conditioner need freon if it is blowing hot air?
More than likely. Ensure the outdoor unit is running and that the compressor is running. Also check your filter.
Is volts measured by electromotive force?
volts abbr (V)
What different between volts and watts?
volts is the unit of votage while watts is the unit of power
What is the difference between ohms and volts?
ohms is the unit of resistance while volts is the unit of voltage
Why isn't the air conditioner blowing cool air?
Is it a central unit? check and see if the fan and compressor are running in the outdoor unit. The system may be low on freon or the compressor may not be running. It is best to call a qualified HVAC technician.
Air conditioner not blowing cold air on hot day?
The first thing to check is that the outside unit is running. That the compressor and the Fan is running. If they are running, then have the Freon pressure in the system checked. You may be low on coolant.
