Usually there is a plate where the wires go into the motor and on the back of it is a wiring diagram for switching from 220 to 110.UNPLUG TOOL BEFORE REMOVING ANYTHING.

Whats wrong with my electric hot water heater 240v single element

It requires a 2 pole ganged breaker to meet code and guarantee the breaker is on two legs of the single split phase service. That in itself doesn't explain the 120 volts at the heater element.

Replace the two single breakers with the appropriate 2 pole ganged breaker. Before connecting the feed to the heater, turn on the ganged breaker and measure voltage across the breaker. If not 240VAC then there is a problem at the breaker panel.

If there's 240 at the breaker then you've somehow wired the thermostat incorrectly but can't imagine what you did.

I have a 3 wire 220 ,white,black,ground and want to use only 110 of it

Test wires with a volt meter. You if you have 110-125 volts between white and black then it's 110v. Black is hot, white is neutral, copper or green is ground.

If you have 220-245 volts between black and white then your wires a not colored correctly and it is 220, volts. Black and White should both have 110 volts each when tested to the ground wire. You'll have to rewire at the power source to convert to 110.

I have brought my wok over from the UK but i have lost the electric lead firstly where can i buy one from and secondly will it be compatable with my appliance

Firstly is the WOK 220 Volt or 110 volt which is north American because if not 110 it will not work without serious house rewiring to provide you with a 220 volt outlet and then if you find a cord it will need to have the correct end for the 220 outlet you have wired in or you will have to have a compatible outlet to your cord.

Can I rewire my 220 compressor to 110 ?

The short answer is: No. The longer answer is, the motor and controls were designed to run on 220 Volts, and as such cannot simply be re-wired for 110 Volts. You basically have 3 options: 1) Have a licensed electrician wire in a 220V circuit to your shop/garage/shed for the compressor. 2) Change out the motor for one designed for 110V (finding one that will work could be difficult, and might require modification of mounts, spindles, gears etc and probably not worth the trouble...but technically possible) 3)purchase a step UP transformer which can turn 110V North American household current into 220V.

Have an old (1977) Sears 2 hp, 20 gallon air compressor. It is wired for 230 volts. Is it possible to rewire it for 115 volts ?

you'd have to change the voltage regulator, which is usually inside the motor - on newer motors, if they have a separate Power Supply, you can sometimes change it on a slide switch... keep in mind, that 230 is MUCH more effective for a device made for drawing a lot of power - that motor might draw 8-10 amps at 220, which will be 2x that if you go to 110... so, when all is said and done, it might work out cheaper to just spend like $200 and buy a new 110 unit that is similar... but again, depends what you want to use it for...

How do i rewire an air compressor from 110 volt to 240 volt

This can only be done if the motor is switchable between 240 vac and120 vac If it only says 120 vac on the motor you have a problem.
