hi all..
iam stuck in a gruesome situation..have placed orders for some heavy
duty wood working machinery from US.Most of these involve 3ph,220v,60hz
motors but i need to operate them at 220v,3ph,50hz supply.
can anyone please advice me on what will happen to the production(
efficiency wise.) in this case.
eagerly waiting for ur help..
thnks a ton.

You have a problem.

60Hz motors will fail if operated at load with 50Hz power.

You need to buy 50Hz replacement motors.
