What is the voltage rating for dual-voltage-rated pump motors?

The correct voltage rating for dual-voltage-rated pump motors is 115/230. This rating indicates that the motor can operate at either 115 volts or 230 volts, allowing for greater flexibility in different electrical systems.

The 115-volt rating is commonly used for residential applications, where outlets are typically designed to handle this voltage. The higher 230-volt rating is usually found in applications where more power is required, such as larger motors or equipment that needs to run more efficiently. This dual capability enables the motor to be connected to various electrical systems depending on availability and application needs.

Using a dual-voltage motor can be particularly advantageous in residential wiring by allowing compatibility with both standard household circuits and more powerful dedicated circuits, thereby accommodating a range of appliances and equipment effectively.
