I guess you didn't know? 220 VAC motors typically do not
have a neutral connection.

Since in a 220 VAC motor, the two 120 VAC legs are in
series, the current (amperage) is the same. Doesn't add to
make a higher number.

If you didn't follow the verbal explanationm, draw the circuit,
including the 120V loads.

The path is
120V
from the still hot leg, through the motor, through all of
the
120V loads (in parallel) on the tripped leg, and thence to
the
neutral.
