Yes, most VFDs can run faster than the input power frequency so you can run a motor to 60Hz with a 50Hz power source. Just be aware that as speed increases, so will the current. Also be aware that a motor is rated to run a specific rpm and running faster may cause motor bearing failure after a short time.

Yes a VFD can be run higher than 60hz. It is the motor that causes the limitations see motor supplier spec sheets

Why do plasma TVs have only 60hz and LCD TVs have 120hz?

Actually plasma screens are in total 600hz but they are divided in 10 subfields, each of which run at 60hz. But in conclusion, 10 subfields of 60hz reduce motion blur almost to zero and look alot cleaner than 1 subfield of 120hz, 240hz, etc.


Can I run laundry equipment 440V 60hz 3 pH on a 480V 60Hz system?

This should not be a problem but check with the manufacturer of the laundry equipment to be certain.


Can a 440 - 480V 60Hz motor run in a site with 380V 60Hz supply If No how can it work?

The motor will run, probably at nearly the same speed, but it cannot supply the same mechanical load. If it can be run on a lighter load, proportional to the voltage, it should be OK.

How many amps extension lead would you need to run a 60Hz pump?

This can not be answered with the information you have given. 60Hz does not relate the the current draw so wire size can not be calculated.


How can you run a 380v 50hz motor with 440v 60hz source?

Yes. It will make your motor a little faster though, so it depends on what you are powering with this motor. IE Can the piece of eguipment be ran faster?


Can you run a 460v 60hz motor to a 480v supply?

The the supply stays within +/- 5% of what the motor is rated for, you can do this.

Will a 220V 60Hz Air-conditioner run safely at 230V 50Hz?

Not really because motors are designed to run at either 50 or 60 Hz and the wrong frequency might cause them to malfunction or overheat.


Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?

It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.


If you run fan on 50hz instead of 60hz what will happen?

The fan will spin slower, attempt to pull more current than it would at 60 Hz, and may therefore overheat (or blow a breaker).
