RW>The difference of course is in how much it costs to run the compressor. In   
   RW>an industrial environment, running anything on 110v costs twice as much to   
   RW>run as the same piece of equipment on 220v. Even less if it's 220v 3   
   RW>phase.   
      
   That statement got lost in this old Brain. cost of rinning an electric   
   motor for an air compressor is a function of the horsepower of the   
   motor. There is very little difference is electrical KW usage of runing   
   on 110 or 220.   
   Now of course the 110 motor consumes twice the amps but that is cancled   
   out by twice the voltage used for a 220 motor.   
   The Kilowatt Metered usage onthe power company meter is the same   
   horsepower for horsepower.
