the 1.5 hp. motor pulling 18 amps on a 120 volt circuit is too much for a 20 amp circuit. if at all possible, run a 240 volt circuit for this motor. it will start easier & run with less effort. smaller motors such as 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 & 1 hp. would be o.k. running on a 120 volt circuit.
Loved the bathtub joke
Thanks so much standing In watter helped SSSsoooooo Much
Hello, I have a 220 dryer and I want to convert it to 120. I can and how it will dry.
Thank you very much for the video. I’m in kinda of the opposite situation. I have a water heater from US rated at 230v and want to hook use it in Singapore, where local power supply is 240v. Can I plug it directly? If it helps, I’m using Ecosmart 18 tankless water heater. Thanks in advance.
I didn’t even need to watch this video but it drew me in. The comedic way you explained things made me HAVE to subscribe. Look forward to watching some more!
Really easy to understand love it thank you.
Love the video, definitely helpful and informative. Your narration is awesome and jokes on point you’re absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂 I had to subscribe cause you made me laugh
Fantastic!!!! You know how to read!
It´s a shame that most people don´t have this basic skill and need videos like yours to explain it with sound……
Funny, Simple and easy to follow.
Congratulations you found a way to make a motor half the efficiency it was. Lol
What if it is only 220 v
You should try doing the opposite way 110 to 220 V That’ll be good information thank you
THANK YOU
Thank you finally a straight forward video and explanation.
No such thing that word you called yourself, thank you kindly for this video
Will this also work when converting the electric plug from an electric stove to a gas one? I got the plumber out and he installed a gas pipe for me on my new gas stove but now my plumber is saying that I have to have an electrician come out for the electric portion of the stove. The original cord connected to the wall has a weird shaped prong and my gas stove has a standard three prong outlet shape prong.
Such clear diction. You should be on radio.
Does the hp change on motor when switching 220 to 110
Yes your video works, I would strongly recommend my friend provide 240 volt outlets for machines in this size class. 1. The 18 amp 120 volt draw on say a saw or sander, added to 18 amps on sawdust vacuum that needs to be running at same time, will kick a single 15 or 20 amp 120 volt circuit. Thus requiring another 120 v. circuit near by anyway. On 240 volts the 18 amp draw drops to 9 or less Amps, allowing for several benefits.
1. Fewer circuits, smaller wires, plugs, less heat generated. 2. A more balanced power draw off your power main, pulling equally from both legs, resulting in less less load imbalance , less chance of kicking breakers from other non associated things like lights, drills, grinders kicking should they be on same leg. 3. Finally a machine that runs a lot under heavy load (like a planner) will use less metered power drawing 9 amps at 240 than 18 amps at 120. Just the way meters count watts ! Balance is better.
@Fisher’s Shop -So I read in one of the comments that you were made aware of your mistake with the 15 amp max plug you swapped out with. What did your friend do with his power situation in his garage? I’m sure this guy didn’t have 20 amp outlets for all these machines (maybe one if he robs the one meant for the washer and even then it’s now likely not 20 amp as well). So what did he do when you handed him all these machines with the right 20 amp plug.? Did he attempt to switch his existing outlets to 20 amp outlets (that have the one prong horizontal) and maybe his breaker as well and, of course, not able to change his existing wiring in the wall. Big trouble no no there. So to do it right he would have had to bring in all new lines and receptacles. At that point it would make more sense to bring in the “better for the machine” 240v, right?
one of my electrician buddies is colorblind !
The best thing you could have done with these 220 machines,was to wire your buddy’s shop with 220 outlets
I know I’m late to the conversation. But very obvious error here. Devices 110 voltage operates at 18 amps. So ofcourse you would use a 15amp plug… what’s 3amps anyway? Just 3 times more fun in a short while.
You like to stand in a bathtub and rewire electrical tools with live wires, don’t you! 😆😆😆
Thanks so much.Wish everyone would keep it simple for us slow people.But really thank you Sir
Jaja 😂 OSHA That’s good one
My feet are wet and now I have an afro, but I think it might have workd…
I am gonna go try burn down my shop right now. Thanks
Hola! 🖐You owe me lunch; I spit it all out with that bathtub joke 😂You need a disclaimer and a visual countdown when a zinger like that is about to be deployed to make sure we put down power tool, set the burger down, or hold off on that sip of drink. All kidding aside, thanks for posting this video. Yes, yes, yes, there are a lot of this and that and here and there, the comments below prove that. This video, for me, simply reminds us that not every task if Mt. Everest. Do your homework, videos like this helps, ask questions, and we’ll find that many tasks are attainable. Great job 👏Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Good Video I wish My {SHRINK}AKA Therapist ad a sodding voice like you. thanks you .
Priceless! Excellent video!
thank you! 👏🏻
Love the video. I have a 220 amplifier i would like to convert it to a 110. How can I get this done.
The color of the wires at the plug did not match the colors at the motor.
Hilarious!
What do I do if the product says 220-240V?
I don’t have any 220 plugs installed but 220 current come to my breaker box.
Call an electrician I guess.
Lol yea I answered.y own question but….if there’s anything else I could do to get this air bed working please share.
I’m not sure if you are active, but I just happened on similar grizzley machines today from my local tech school. One (or two, I can’t tell), is a dust collection system. Is there anywhere I can post a pic and let me know what in looking at?
I see the video is old, but this info is actually difficult to find; so, thanks! You should speak more kindly to yourself ;0) Thanks for the info!
Sadly, it looks like his channel is now gone.
I might have to start watching, enjoyed learning something!
I like the humor in ur explaination and the self cursing u do!! Lol..
Ur voice is so calming and accent is so clear. U can narrate a story. This didnt feel like a boring electrical wires video… But a story for real. Thanku for the info tho.
Now I have a hair ironing appliance from USA which says 120v 60HZ. Im in pakistan and we have 220v here. So plz tell me which converter I can get for this and how much watts it should be. Thanks alot.
FYI .. if you wire a 220 motor wrong it will either not work .. OR .. burn the motor up .. in seconds
ur Jeep’s gettin dusty. Gotta keep those pavement pounders clean 🙂
wow, I got really confuse at the minute 1:35 to replace the plug you had black, white , and green, but then at the minute 4:50 on the other end of the extension cord you had RED, black, and green?
Hi Drew, I have a question, I have many extensions cords (not heavy duty cords), some older cords from indoor Christmas lights or used for electric fans. I was planning to send these all to the Philippines (and they use 220), will it work, i figured it is just an extension cord and may not make a difference but I can’t find any info on the net about this, let me know if you have an answer for me, thanks
Thank you!

If you notice the the plate it says 18 amps at 110v that’s why it’s recommend 220v so you only draw 9 amps ! There’s a reason behind anything plus it’s easier to use 2 110v breakers from the box to make the 220 outlet
110 V * 18 A = 1,98 kW
220 V * 18 A = 3,96 kW
So why use 110V if you probably have in your workshop a 220 V outlet.
