50hz or 60Hz? Grundfos pump CHI 4-60 A-W-G-BQQE
50hz or 60Hz? Grundfos pump CHI 4-60 A-W-G-BQQE
(OP)
Machine has 3 devices, a pump, a fan, and a compressor
1) Pump tag say 50Hz 3X220-240D/380-415Y / 60HZ (this section is blank) Model 4J508006
2) Fan tag says Ziehl Abegg FE050-VDD.4I.6
3' 400V +/- 10% D/Y 50Hz
3) Cooling compressor tag says 460V 3-60Hz 400V 3-50Hz
Can I run this system on 460 volt 3 phase 60Hz ?
Will pump work ok? or because 60Hz section is blank can it only be run 50 Hz?
Fan I can replace if it burns out lol
Previous owner was running it 400V 50Hz
Thanks for any help

RE: 50hz or 60Hz? Grundfos pump CHI 4-60 A-W-G-BQQE
The convert from 50 Hz to 60 Hz, multiply the 50 Hz voltage by 60/50.
Thus 400 Volts @ 50 Hertz will run on 480 Volt @ 60 Hertz.
460 Volt rated motors are almost universally supplied from 480 Volt/60Hz systems.
WARNING
The motor will draw the same rated current.
The motor will run 60/50 RPM faster.
The rated torque will be the same.
CAUTION; Centrifugal Pumps and Fans will draw quite a bit more current running faster.
You will probably need to throttle the discharge of both the pump and the fan when running on 60 Hertz.

a bit confused about the fan motor but will run them 60Hz and see what happens

The worst case that I have encountered was a poor design on a 60 HP dust collection system.
We cut a slot in the discharge duct and inserted a flat plate.
We had the discharge restricted a little over 50% before we got the current down to an acceptable level.
Setting up agricultural pumps it was common practice to install a valve in the discharge line.
The valve would be turned down until the current was acceptable and then the valve handle would be removed.
