Dayton Speedaire Compressor help

[Chris_PT]

Hey guys,
This compressor was given to my dad from a customer of his. The customer used it at his old dental practice to run the dental instruments, however since retiring, he has no use for it anymore.

Anyway, the power souce looked to be hard-wired into a 220v power source. My question is this: Can it be wired to run on 110v? I did notice the tag on it says "115/230", but wanted to run it by and see for sure.

Thanks for any help!

Yes. the motor plate shows it can run on 115V @ 16amps. So you need a 20A circuit.

Great! So we can just wire it up with a standard 115v plug and make sure the circuit is sufficient?

Yep. Change the wiring in the motor as the plate shows and use a minimum of 14/3 SJOOW for the cord and use a good quality Nema 15-5 plug.
