FAQ237-1224: Motors: Changing between a 50 and 60Hz supply.
As far as safety is concerned, you can only decide on that.
RE: 460 vac 60 hz supply
Will the load increase to above the resulting hp of the repowered motor?

Is it ok to supply this motor with 460 vac at 60 hz.
Many thanks

RE: 460 vac 60 hz supply
If your supply voltage is actually 480V 60Hz then the motor should be rated 400V 50Hz.
Your system voltage is likely more than 460V and a higher system voltage would fall right in the middle of the voltage rating for that motor.
FYI, you can probably get 20% more power than the 50Hz rated power out of the motor too.
