      RW> Roy>> 5000 Watts of Power / 220v = 22.7 Amps.       RW> Roy>> 5000 Watts of Power / 110v = 45.5 Amps.              RW> RW> Right, but that 5 kw is what they use to figure your bill.              RW>That was my bottom line as well. What can be seen is that a 220v motor       RW>will do the same work while using less power. Not that your bill will       RW>change if you use it to do the same work.              WRONG! Power is Only Stated as Watts or Horsepower. The Voltage and Amps       are different only to satisfy the Ohms Law formula. But NEITHER one is a       measure of power used. ONLY their E X I total.              And as in your Statement above the Power is 5000 Watts(A 6.7 Horsepower       Motor) in BOTH examples       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Since 1991 And Were Still Here!
