J Rosado is correct.
If the compressor motor is dual voltage then yes, otherwise no.
Notice the current draw is twice at low voltage than that of high voltage in a dual voltage motor.
@JRosado.... how do I check to see if it's what you call dual voltage ...
and what did u mean by " Notice the current draw is twice at low voltage than that of high voltage in a dual voltage motor." ?
The motor name plate electrical ratings should indicate 110/220 for dual voltage, or 120/240 for volts, low volts/high volts If so, notice the Amperes, 30/15, 30 amps for low volts and 15 for high volts, as example numbers. The product of volts and amps in alternating current is called voltamps. A motor may need about 1,000 volt amps per horse of power. Your 5hp motor may need 5,000 VA, twice the amps at 120 volts than at 240, 5000/120 = 40+ amps. Try the formula for currently wired 240 volt motor, 20+ amperes.
We try to keep the amps low due to economy and power loss in conductor and electric transmission lines.
I square R equals power in watts. I represents amperes or current, R represents electrical resistance in ohms. Conductors offer electrical resistance and while amperes flow, there is a power loss in the line dissipated as heat.
If the motor has only one voltage rating stamped on the motor nameplate, the it is single voltage. It must have two voltages, two amperage, for the motor to be dual voltage. The voltage being used or applied is configured accordingly, motor instructions, in the motor connection cover.

your unit is toast! sorry time to get a new one! repair parts will cost more than a new machine.
SOURCE: change from 220v to 110v on air compressor
I can't blame you for askig, but here's my response. 5 HP is 3750 running watts. or about 35 amps at 110 volts and it would take somewhere around 50 amps to start it provided the motor could even be wired for 110 which I don't believe it can and for that exact reason. I'm sorry, but it's just not practical.
SOURCE: Does the Bose companion 3 have an internal fuse?
Yes. The companion 3 system can be repaired for $75. Call Bose at 800-367-4008. They will also give you a new 1 year warranty.

look on the motor cover or on the wiring cvr on mtr or on the inside of the wire termination cvr
SOURCE: 110v - 220v power short problem
No major worries. Only "Fuse" would have gone. You can get this replaced with some good electronic repair shops. Might charge you around Rs. 100 (else Rs. 500 since it is a "US return" item :) )

The dual voltage motor leads or connection terminal board requires reconfiguring according to the voltage used or applied. Wiring diagram should be on motor name plate or connections cover.
