Default Converting Compressor motor from 220 v to 110 v

I've checked the motor plate:

It's a one speed motor v230, 60 Hz and 13.1 A (Amps?) . There is no
mention of "dual voltage".



It goes on that if these conditions cannot be met a 20 amp circuit may
be necessary. "It is not necessary to change the cord set if this
change is made".


You will have to leave it at 220 then. At 13A it is borderline as on
startup it will pull much more. If you don't have a circuit now, I'd size
it for 20A and be done with it.
