Can you run a well pump on 120V?
As mentioned earlier, it is important to consider the type of power your well pump equipment requires. Most residential pumping equipment is single phase 230 volts, however, some small pumps in the USA may use 120 volts single phase. Larger pumping installations may require 208, 230 volt or 480 volt 3-phase power.

Are sump pumps 120V or 240V?
240V is preferred because submersible pumps are often well away from the house and deep down in the hole and you must run a wire there capable of supplying its power needs without too much voltage drop in the line.
How do you run a 240V motor on 120V?
You can, for a short time, run the motor off 120 volts using just one of the 120 volt winding. So just leave leads 3 and 4 disconnected. Connect one power lead to 1,5, the other to 2,6, and plug it in to 120 volts. The motor should run.
How do you go from 120V to 240V?
In the case of stepping up from 120V to 240V you are doubling the voltage and to keep the power constant the current goes down to 1/2 of its original value. But to put it in the context of your problem, you must supply 100% of the needed POWER at 120V to power the AC at 240V.
Do they make a 2 inch submersible pump?

Yes, but it will have a much lower power output, probably maximum of 1/10 hp power delivery. If you try running it directly from 120V, keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t overheat. You really should keep the voltage to frequency ratio the same as what it was designed for.
How do I know if my pool pump is 120 or 240?
How to Tell if Your Pool Pump Is 110v or 220v
- Examine the information label on the housing of your pump to find the correct power supply.
- Consult the user manual and packaging that came with your pump.
- Gather as much information about your pump as you can.
What happens if you run a 240V motor on 120V?
Will a 240V heater run on 120V?
Installing a 240-volt heater on a 120-volt circuit is not as big a safety risk, but you will notice that your heater will fail to work most times. When it does run, it will end up giving out much less heat than what you needed for your room and below what you expected.
