Just remember, Lower the voltage, the more current is needed for the same Power/Watts. And FYI, a HP for an electric motor, is equivalent to 746Watts, regardless of voltage. Watts=HP. So, for a 1HP motor, running at 240v =3.1 amps same motor running 120V =6.2 amps It's the same Watts(746) But the current draw on the wires is less. now, if it was a 10HP, it would be 31amps or 62. THAT'S a large cable size difference.
