Will a 500volt 50hz squirrel cage motor run on 380volts 50hz?

No, the voltage of 500 volts is too high to operate a 380 volt motor.


Does the RPM of a motor vary if a load is added to the motor?

The speed of an electric motor is directly proportional to the frequency of supply. The rpm written on the name plate is the maximum operating speed for the motor design. Typically, for a squirrel cage induction motors, the speed is constant by design and this type of motor cannot operate for a long time at speeds below the rated value. It is true that loading affects motor speed to some extend but the electric motor will accelerate to the rated speed. If the loading is within the design parameters of the motor, the electric motor speed will not drop. What typically happens is that if the loading increases, the speed goes down, and the current increases. Because voltage is constant, this result in a high I2R loss in the windings and the motor circuit protection trips on thermal and electrical overload. The formula for electric motor speed is SRPM=(120f)/P. The above is for AC motors. If you are referring to a DC motor, what you have stated is correct. The motor will slow down as load is added. That is why you are not supposed to run many DC motors under no load conditions - they will overspeed.

How do you change the blower motor?

There is a cover inside the engine compartment on the passenger side on the firewall.3 or 4 screws and it comes off. Once inside. One long screw holds the "squirrel cage" or round fan on. The problem is usually the electric motor that it mounts to. Swap out motor and or cage.


A strong electric field exists in the vinicity of the faraday cage why the person inside the cage is not affected?

That's because there is no electric field inside the cage.

Where is the ac blower on a 1995 ford explorer?

Raise hood, look all the way to the passenger side corner by hood hinge, That electric motor you see the back of is it, You must pull the air filter box to change the motor, It is not too hard, take your time, be careful with the squirell cage it costs more than the $20.00 fan motor, and most parts stores do not stock it, This will take about 1 to 2.5 hours. Good luck, Jamison
