Default 240volt vs. 120volt

To summarize:
120 V configuration: 1920 Watts total, 76.8 Watts for the wiring and

1843.2
Watts for the motor
240 V configuration: 1980.6 Watts total, 20.4 W for the wiring and 1960.2
Watts for the motor

Compared to the 120V configuration, when wired for 240 V the motor gets
1960.2 W - 1843.2 W = 117 W more power, or a (117/1843.2)*100 = 6.3%
increase.

Granted, I've simplified the analysis by only considering the resistive
loads (i.e. I've implicitly assumed that the reactance due to the motor's
inductance has been balances out by the reactance of the capacitor).


Interesting. I'm not sure about the "simplified" part though
