    Unfornately that motor is rated only for 208 /230 volts. (actually up to 240 which is standard now) Motors that can run on multi-voltages have that clearly marked on the label affixed to the motor. Usually those motors are used for electric heat and heat pumps.

    You will need to replace that motor with one for 115 volts. If the furnace was originally designed for a 220 volt motor that is what should be in it to maintain its listing.
