Old Belsaw  motor gave up, so I was given a good used one. I didn't look to see what voltage it is. When I connected it and turned it on, it ran for about 5 seconds and quit. You guessed it: It was 110 V and I plugged it into 220V. Any educated guesses as to what I burned up? Yeah, I know I did something stupid, so lay off of me!

Well, on the bright side, the motor was free.

Years ago, on the farm we had two fuel tanks, diesel and gasoline. Guess which one I used to refuel a diesel tractor.  

 

 If the motor does not smell burnt look for an overload type device that is tripped or failed.     Very much doubt if it burnt up in 5 seconds.    Roly

Good answer! This is probably the case.

You say what

You say burned up.  If there was smoke then it is fried.

I hate it when that happens!

 

Like others said, see if there is an overload/thermal cutoff device.

If not overload switch equipped, check capacitor(s)...maybe you got lucky there vs motor windings.

I'm going to wire it up for 110 and see what that might do. Thanks!

I don't know about the rest of them but I assumed you already did.
