It is a 5 hp motor and 15 amps 230 , rewiring it would require 120 vac breaker rated at 60 amps. The power would have to upgraded to #10 AW there is is no receptacle available, so the answered is no. . the the answer upgrade to 220 Vac
SOURCE: converting from 220 to 110 volts
Most brands of air comperssors are built to work on either 220 or 110 v. I believe that 220 v compressors are more efficient and draw less current and run cooler.
The more expensive compressors have a switch allowing for voltage selection. Still others will have a wiring diagram printed on the motor allowing voltage change by changing jumpers. Most all of the sears compressors that I have repaired were of single voltage with no other way to change except change motor. Do not worry however, you have the better motor. It is easier to convert the outlet plug to 220 by isolating the circuit and installing a 220 v breaker. enjoy
SOURCE: i need to convert my 220 wiring back to 110 on my
There should be a plate where the ires run thru, and on the plate or motor itself, there should be a diagram shouwing what terminals to connect the leads too.
Hope this helps.

Have a look at the rating plate, it should state if it's dual voltage, if so there will be a movable link under the rating plate or somewhere obvious. If it isn't dual forget it, the wattage precludes using a ballast
