Can someone explain the reason inrush on 120v is double what it is on 240v ?

Update on motor I checked the inrush today and from what I’ve been told should be around 35a but it’s 56a inrush running with a load it’s 5A and no load it’s 3a. Could the motor have an internal issue? With what the numbers are on the tag it exceeds those numbers.

Do you recommend any certain brand of soft start?

The motor is on a elbow machine for bending downspout elbows. Yes has 2 capacitors on motor.

I’m trying to get this machine setup in my trailer. Compare voltage in what way?

If it’s drawing 8000w and the inverter is rater at 7000w would it be anything I could do with motor (soft start or any kind) of modifications I could do to make it work ?

Why wou ld it run but chatter on 120v and not really even try on 240v?

It sparks at the contacts on machine and inverter goes to fault

I have a Schneider 4048 120/240 48v Running a 1.5hp motor on 120v the contacts would chatter. Changed it to 240v and now the inverter will not run motor. Hooked motor to 240v power from my shop and it runs motor flawlessly. Please help.
