What makes you think it is a good idea?How do you rewire a motor from 110V to 220V?

I suspect this isn't possible/advisable. The gauge of the windings and number of windings as well as the speed are likely specific to the expected supply voltage and frequency.How do you rewire a motor from 110V to 220V?

The current at the higher voltage will be a lot less than the 120v.I suspect this isn't possible/advisable. The gauge of the windings and number of windings as well as the speed are likely specific to the expected supply voltage and frequency.
If the motor is still connected in the high voltage mode, then it should be relatively simple to determine the 3 wires in question.The picture of the tag shows exactly how to do it. The hard part will be determining which wires areT1, P1, , and P2. ALL the information that you need is in that picture. L1 and L2 are the supply lines. Just make sure to get all of the strands into the wire nuts.
If it's one of the newer super Dysons it should be a SRM(switched reluctance motor).In the case of the Dyson, it was most likely a Universal motor and is wound for one voltage.
No one disputed that!This motor is VERY OBVIOUSLY an induction motor.
So why even mention a DYSON motor?
I recall examining each motor, the 120v motor (the one I got from ebay) had thicker windings than the one I removed (240v UK), I assumed this was the case as it would draw approx twice the current to achieve the same overall power.The current at the higher voltage will be a lot less than the 120v.
The OP has not mentioned his location?
As a rule, AC induction motors are not precise devices.

In the case of a typical dual voltage AC induction motor, there is a change of windings from series for Hi voltage to parallel for low voltage.I recall examining each motor, the 120v motor (the one I got from ebay) had thicker windings than the one I removed (240v UK), I assumed this was the case as it would draw approx twice the current to achieve the same overall power.
Hmm, my motor knowledge has faded over the years, I now wonder if you're correct and I could have just fiddled with its existing motor!In the case of a typical dual voltage AC induction motor, there is a change of windings from series for Hi voltage to parallel for low voltage.

The tag has TYPE: SCSAlso Shortbus could be right, a SRM(switched reluctance motor). ?
