60Hz frequency on 50 Hz motor will create more resistance in its coils. Will cause electromagnetic force trying to increase the speed of the rotor by about 20 %. Less current will flow but the torque will be less, because of the increased resistance of the coils. Usually if the motor is not loaded much it will work fine on 60 Hz. One solution if there is problem running the motor is to remove part of the all coils equally from all of the bobbins by 10-20% .
CommentThe resistance of the coils will remain unchanged, however, their inductive reactance will increase -thus reducing the current.

∙ 12y agoMany will run on 60 hz but do so at your risk. They may overheat the motor. Voltage must be right. e.g. a 250v 50 hz fan motor from Britain cannot be used on 110v ac 60hz. But may work ok on 220v 60hz.
I agree with the above.
Generally, 50 Hz gear will work on 60 Hz, as the equipment has enough iron in it to present enough reactance so's it doesn't draw excess current and overheat. What it may not do is to deliver as much power as it would have on 60 Hz.
The big problem is with 60 Hz gear operating on 50 Hz. If it's near its maximum power rating, the lower amount of iron (by 50 Hz standards) can allow excess current and overheating. I saw this is in the 1960s when folks brought 60 Hz U.S.-made TVs back to our 50 Hz systems. Even though the voltage rating was OK, they tended to overheat due to the lower frequency.

∙ 12y agoYou would need to change the gear ratio inside, as the rotor is synchronous, and the 50 Hz clock motor would be 20% fast on 60 Hz.

If you can Chang winding 50hz to 60hz?
If you have the motor rewound you could possibly have it changed. You can run some 50 hz motors on a 60 hz system but there are no guarantees. The motor will run faster and there is a chance it will overheat. There is no way to change the field connections of a motor to accomplish this. Best bet is to just purchase the correct motor.
What is 50 hz motor?
It is a motor where the frequency of the AC voltage is 50 cycles per second. In U.S.A. 60 Hz is standard. 50 Hz would be overseas.
Is it okay to connect 50 hz to 60 hz?
Assuming that you are referring to a piece of equipment designed for 60-hz power being connected to a 50-hz power line (common overseas), It depends on the application. If the load is a DC power supply, they are often rated for both 50 and 60 hz. If the load is a motor made for 60 hz, for example, it will run about 17% slower at 50 hz than at 60 hz due to the design of induction motors, and at higher current because of lower inductive reactance. If the load is fluorescent lighting, it may display an annoying flicker, and the ballasts will probably die an early death. If the load is transformer-powered, you'll have the same current problems as you get with the motor. OTOH, if you want to connect a 50-hz load to a 60-hz supply, it has its own issues. E.g., the motor will run faster and cannot be loaded as heavily. Best bet: research to see if the piece of equipment is rated for both frequencies.
Why does the rpm of a three phase motor decrease as the number of poles increase?
The synchronous speed is 6000 divided by the number of poles for a synchronous motor on 50 Hz, and 5-10% less than that for an induction motor. On a 60 Hz supply these speeds are 20% higher.
Can you run a 460 volt 3 phase 60 hertz refrigeration compressor on 460 volt 3 phase 50 hertz?
Possibly. You need to check the rating on the device. Many compressors can operate on either 50 or 60 Hz.

If a motor designed for 50 or 60 cycle operation is connected to 60 hz current the motor will what?
The motor, being designed to run on either a 50 or a 60 cycle (a.k.a. hertz) system , will turn faster.
What will happen to a motor which is designed for 50 or 60 cycle operation if it connected to 60 Hz?
60 cycles = 60 hertz
What will happen 50 HZ motor when you will give 60 HZ?
motor will run at a faster rate.....

How do you convert 50 minutes into a fraction?
50 minutes out of 60 minutes would be 5/6 of an hour.
When did Kai Winding die?
Kai Winding died on May 6, 1983 at the age of 60.
How old was Kai Winding at death?
Kai Winding died on May 6, 1983 at the age of 60.
What speed will be obtained when converting a 500 RPM motor at 50 hertz to 60 hertz?
The speed at 60 Hz is 600 r.p.m.
How much hp is a 4 stroke motor?
it would be around 50-60 horse power
What do you need to convert your razor from 60 cycle ac to 50 cycle ac?
A: There are devices transformers that can safely convert power the reason being that a 50 cycle the razor will saturate causing heating and blow.
Is there a Measure to convert 60 hz into 50 hz?
There is nothing to convert. You are using the same unit of measurement. A hertz is a hertz, all you are dealing with is 10 less Hertz. 60 Hertz - 10 Hertz = 50 Hertz The difference is 10 Hertz. The math there is just to give you a clear example and illustrate my point. What you are asking for is similar to someone asking "how do you convert miles to miles" or "how do I convert inches to inches".
