You need to bring the 240V down to 110V, that can be done with a transformer or an auto transformer (cheaper) . The motor may have extra connection option to operate either 120 or 240 volts.. If available all it needs is to be reconfigured for such supply voltage..
What is a VA Electrical?
Volt-ampere (VA) is a measurement of power in a direct current ( DC ) electrical circuit. For example, a supply might be rated at 600 VA. This does not mean it can deliver 600 watts, unless the equipment is reactance-free. In real life, the true wattage rating of a power supply is 1/2 to 2/3 of the VA rating.
Can you run a 3hp compressor pump with a 2hp motor?
Yes, you can run a “3 hp” pump with a 2 hp motor, but you have to run that pump at a lower speed. OR, you run the pump at a lower maximum pressure, since the power input to the pump is highest at maximum pressure.
