Treelaw45,
Yes, but only if the motor has the proper type of winding. There should be a nameplate on the motor. If it says 230/460 Volts, then this can be done. The wiring connection diagram will be typically on a plate nearby or a label on the inside of the terminal box. If there are only three or six leads in the terminal box, forget it.
I hope you don't have enough experience or knowledge to be dangerous.
