Well, how about that. So they essentially lied. Yeah, 2.3HP without SF, which isn't listed... "SPL" shown for HP. So that'd require a service factor of about 2.2 to make 5HP? Doesn't make me any difference one way or another though, since it was more than I've needed...

More Amperage is available at 220-24- volts.. Watts is what you pay for, that doesn't change.. All homes are already wired with 220 volts.Your electric motors however start easier, have more amperage available to them, in fact, everything on the 220V line has more amps available. The savings is minuscule, but it is better for the engines, as they start better with 220 Volts, which is why you get half the power rating in Watts if you run at 110 volts. Your compressor would fill up faster, and it's better for the life of the motor, you do save a tiny bit, but your saving comes with the longevity of the motor involved, and the starting capacitors not having to get so hot trying to draw the amperage at 110 volts. It's good to have a couple of 220 volt outlets, for welding, and the like. You pay the same amount for 220 Volts, so why not take the advantage, you're paying for wattage and the bill will be virtually the same, just more options.
