I have a broken pool motor [magnetek y56y] which will cost a bundle to

While doing a search on the web, I found the same model (really cheap)
but
wired for 280V, instead of the 230 V load that my wiring is supplies.
Now, I was thinking of buying the cheap 280V model and installing it
instead. Aside from rotating at a different speed and
maybe some power inefficiencies, are there any other drawbacks of
using the 280V model
instead?
are you sure it isn't 208 ?

I'd be suspicious that the 280V was a misreading somehow of 230V.
that sounds more plausible.
I'm a little confused about a 230 volt circuit. In what part of the world
does the utility supply 230v?

In theory, it's 230 on a single phase - neutral circuit here in the UK now,
but in practice, it's actually nearer the previously accepted 240v for the
most part ...
