60Hz motor tested in a 50Hz grid
60Hz motor tested in a 50Hz grid
(OP)
Hi,
My problem is with an asynchronous motor (4000HP, 4000V, 60Hz, 8poles). It´s being manufactured in Europe, and it´s going to be installed in Mexico. So the tests are factory will be made at 50Hz, since they do not have frequency converters in their test field.
When doing the heat run test by the two frequency method, at least one of the synchronous generators should run at 60Hz, right?
Does anyone know if there is a rule (IEC, NEMA, IEEE,...) that allows to test a 60Hz motor under 50 Hz conditions?
Thank you for your help.

Anyway I will sure take a look at the IEEE paper you are refering to. And thank you for your help!
