Well, not positive, but it should be able to be rewired for 220. I did rewire a couple of motors in my shop, and things were marked out on the motor. When first starting my wood shop, I read every book possible on shops, and they all said that any motor 1 hp and above should run on 220.

No. First, because the motor is 120 volt three-phase only and secondly, the inverter is a 120 volt model. The motor and inverter must be compatible at the operating voltage. There isn’t any reason for rewriting the motor even it it were dual voltage. And, even if the motor could be rewired for 240 volts, that would necessitate replacing the inverter with a 240 volt inverter.
I think your recollection is a bit fuzzy.
