Re: ' 50 cycle (herz )motor ,most ,

 

50hz motor should run fine on 60hz, or vice versa. Do not try running a 400hz motor on 60hz, though. You WILL let the magic smoke out. Done it.

I wouldn't try running it full time under full load (pump or HVAC), but running a lathe should be OK.

Spent 3 years in Turkey, and 4 in Germany, running lots of stuff on 50hz power. Things that depend on the? line voltage frequency for timing will be off, like clocks. Vacuums, saws, and grinder, etc., are just fine.
