120V vs 208V motor
(OP)
Given a specific horsepower, does the selected voltage for a motor affect anything other than the current that the motor will draw? I have a contractor that is proposing to install a 120V 3/4hp motor as opposed to a 208V 3/4hp motor and, other than current draw changing, I'm wondering if I should consider anything else in accepting the change.

I have seen 3/4 HP motors work well on 120 Volts with no problems and I have seen other installations where a 3/4 HP motor had issues on 120 Volts.
