Using 120V, 60 Hz Single Phase Motors in Europe
Using 120V, 60 Hz Single Phase Motors in Europe
(OP)
I am sending a tri-volt (120/208-230), single phase motor (60 Hz) to run in the United Kingdom for a pumping application. (415V)
Will this motor work reliably if I make the "high voltage" connection on the motor?
230V/60 = 3.833 = V/f
3.833 x 50Hz = 191.65V = New voltage req'd.
I assume to have ~240/1/50 service.
Should I simply replace teh motor on this

I'm asking this because I don't know, not to be argumentative. I know nothing at all about 50Hz applciations, and would defer to ScottyUK or most anyone else on this site.....

Search volts per hertz on this site. Also see the FAC by itsmoked on converting motors from 60 Hz to 50 Hz and vice versa.
