(OP)
what if a 60 cycle motor use where the country provide a 50 cycle.what will wrong with the motor.

RE: motor cycle

If the motor is designed for 60Hz operation and the conected to a 50Hz mains it will operate at 20% harder and it could burn the motor out. To prevent this you could put a transformer before it and decrease input voltage by 20%. If this is done the speed of the motor will be altered. Most of motors these days are 50/60Hz so you can use them on either mains.
