From the DVR Owners Manual:

Motor Power: 1.30kW 1.75 Hp 115v, 2.3 Hp 230v

I think mine says the same, Wayne.. Then again, it says "220v 2.0 HP on the motor cover..lol

I really don't care about HP, 1 hp was plenty on my Jet.. I just want to put it on a 220v circuit to take the load of the 110v circuits..

Might I suggest you learn something about motors and power, something you obviously don't currently have

Close, line drop is certainly a factor in transmission. But probably not in the conversion of electrical power to rotational energy. Back a ton of years ago, I took a class or ten (BS-EE) on such things, one of the things I learned was that a motor wound to run on multiple voltages (like the multi-phase power for the DVR-XP) operates more efficiently on the higher voltage.

That's it , old cells re-awakening. Star and Delta in Three phase motors overlapping of wave forms etc.

Takes me back:) and seeing a callsign in your e-mail takes me back but not as far :)

Except, of course, you're not dealing with a motor and windings. Wyes and Deltas don't mean as much here, it's electronic magic!
