220 to 110 motor. Oops
« on: April 24, 2014, 03:07:01 PM »
Accidently hooked 220 line to my well pump without checking to see if the motor was wired for it.  It wasn't!  It tried to run for a second then stopped
  I rewired the motor for 220 and it didn't work, changed the motor back to 110 and hooked it up to a 110 circuit and it humms for a few seconds before it trips the breaker.

  Is it probably a sure thing I fried the motor?

Yup, it's cooked.

Had something similar at a rental farm, air compressor worked just fine (220) the lights in the shop worked just fine. Plugged the shop vac in to clean a tractor out before parking it in the machinery shed, had the worlds most powerful shop vac for about 5 seconds. Runs real fast when the neutral is dropped and its back feeding 220 to a 110 volt shop vac.

Yah, shop vac wasn't a month old yet either. Warranty didn't cover that, Dad tried but the smell of burnt windings was really noticeable.
