I'm too tired to reason this out; does anybody know: Can a motor
designed to run off 50 Hz successfully run off 60Hz? I dimly recall
that motors designed for one frequency will operate safely on the
other, but which way can you go?


** Synchronous motors will normally be OK at either 50Hz or 60 Hz.

This includes AC fans, turntable motors and workshop motors on bench drills
etc.

Thing is, 50 Hz equates to 230 volts and 60 Hz equates to 120 volts.

The motors will run 20% faster at 60 Hz - and maybe a tad warmer.
