Looking for some information on using a 220 fan with 110 voltage. Can this be done?

Hey Don, were these ceiling fans, like this:



Or more high-velocity types, like this:



?

The fans were short drops inside the terminal and the longer drops on the platform. The two fans we snagged were over the ticket cages.

There were several other fans but these were belt driven beasts that no one wanted. I don't recall the fins at the end and of course they were more of an green olive drap as opposed to the traditional olive drab. n The blade size looks about correct.

Belt drive fans usually draw a ton of current. Not surprised they were 240.

I thought a while back I saw a post by TK? That said you couldn't use 240 fans, don't remember if it meant 240 volt fans couldn't be ceiling mounted? Or if in US?

I've never heard that. I've dealt in HVLS fans that use 240 (or a 3 phase supply) and are ceiling mounted.

But whatever TK says, goes.

It was probably 6 months or more ago. Maybe he will see this post and respond.
I could be totally wrong.
