Sorry; I stand corrected. I just used data from a 120/208v 1.4 HP motor I had
specs on, and assumed one TOTAL turn for the motor (all coils in parallel).
Using that method with your 4-pole motor, a 1-turn (total) rewind would be 4.5
volts.

Naturally, the number of turns is going to fall as the motor gets bigger (more
HP). This can be good! It is easy to wind 1-turn coils.
