Dale, very well said. Mostly the higher voltage allows the machinery to be farther away from the source and use a smaller gage wire thereby lessing the cost of installation. And if no one has noticed the last scrap copper wire I sold went for $2.40 a pound. No wonder 12-2 wg romex is going for over $90. a 250 foot roll.. By the way crushed beverage cans were 48 cents a lb. Anyway, good job Dale.

I have been waiting to see if you get another response but haven't seen one yet. The best I understand of this is a definite maybe. You won't get any more speed out of the motor by wiring it for 220 and I don't think you gain any real power except that it is likely to perform better under extreme load but you shouldn't be pushing it that hard anyway. It will likely come up to speed more quickly when you start it and when you do bog it down. This may depend a little on the design of the motor but when ever I have looked into this problem the specifications remain about the same regardless of the wiring. The big advantage is that when you double the voltage you half the current drawn so, you require smaller fuses or breakers and things tend to run cooler and all that. There may be other advantages but at this point I am unaware of them.
