200V cooling fan on 120V

Okay guys I have a fan which is rated at 200V, but it is running on 120V. Here are the specs

4715MS-20T-B50 - AC Axial Fans - NMB Technologies Corporation

Now I need to buy a replacement. But which do I get a 115V or the 230V version on this page?

McMaster-Carr

It is the 119mm 106cfm one. My question is, is there any issue with running a fan rated at 200V on 115V, or running a 230V fan on 115V? I thought that would bog down the fan and cause it to run slow and hot and have a short life?

Maybe that's why your changing it. Get the proper one, when those fans fail they turn in to little heaters.

If it is running on 120v get a 120v version.

Well actually I read the voltage wrong. I had the meter on 200V but becuase it was slightly higher than 200V I wasnt getting anything.DUH!.

But for some reason when I put the positive lead on one of the fan terminals and the meters negative to the earth ground bonding terminal of the machine I got 120V.

Now the Fan says its 200V single phase but why was I getting 120V reading? Is it because I am testing one of the 2 120V wires that add to 200V? I know the machines main supply comes in 3 phase.


ALSO MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY ABOVE RAMBLING. I now know that the fans supply voltage is 200V. So is this fan rated at 230V okay?

Yes then use the 230v model, it sounds like either the fan is fed off of 240v supply with a centre tap ground transformer the same as the domestic supply, or it is fed off of 2 phases (1ph) of a 3ph transformer that has a grounded star connection, but I would guess the former.
