Electric Motor Question

think reactive power and power factors all come into the picture, but i cannot say I remember enough to comment, but have a feeling the Inductive load of the motor is more favorably billed in terms of realized power when you have it wired across two legs of a single phase instead of a one leg... i believe the neutral current measured actually approaches zero in the 240 wired config and is significantly more in the 120 configuration... the neutral gets connected to ground at the main bonding jumper and goes back to the electric company with no credit to the home owner....

any chance any of you guys have a 5 HP does motor that matches mine? need your help with RUN capacitor value
