What happens if you under power an electric motor you have a 3 hp single phase motor that requires 39A but your generator only outputs 23.2A?

If you make the connection, the breaker on the generator will trip. The motor will not get up to running RPM. Check and see if the motor is dual voltage. If it is, run it on the higher voltage. This will reduce your run current to about half of what it is on the lower voltage.


Can a vfd be run any higher than 60hz?

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.


What is the minimum voltage a 115vac 400hz 3 phase motor will run?

Yes the minimum voltage of an 115vac 400 Hz 3 phase motor will run. You can run a single phase motor on a three service but you cannot be run on a single phase.


Will a 220V 50Hz ceiling fan work on a 220V 60Hz?

If the fan motor says 220 230 240 they will all work on those voltages The rating are important The higher the voltage, the amps will be lower=cheaper to run Same goes for frequency( hz ) the higher number runs faster U can use a higher rated hz on a lower hz it will run slower than normal U cannot always do the reverse especially dealing with hz and voltage Your application will work safely but look at motor nameplate it might be rated for multiple voltages and frequencies Also the motor will detriorate a little bit faster when u use 230v on something designed for excalty 220v but this is still safe


Why does the speed of the DC series motor rise to a run away condition if full voltage is applied while there is no load?

At no load, the speed of a series motor rises to a run-away condition if the full voltage is applied because the applied voltage appears directly at the terminals of the motor and drives it to a run-away condition since speed is proportional to the voltage.

Can a 415volt 3phase motor run on 525 volt 3 phase?

It is not advisable to run lower voltage motor on a higher voltage.


Will a 240 50Hz run on 220 60Hz?

It's OK but if it's a motor it might run 20% faster. It will run faster by 10 Hz and will tend to take more current to deliver the rated KW load, since the rated voltage is 240 but applied voltage is 220Volts

What happens if you connect a 9.6 v battery to a motor rated for 7.2 v?

The motor will run at a higher rate of speed than normal. The extra voltage will in time destroy the motor.


How does a model train transformer work?

It works like a dimmer switch. As you turn the knob or move the lever it changes the voltage that is supplied to the track. As the voltage increases, the motor in the model train will run faster and thus the train will move faster.

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.


Why are Air cooled Engines Harder on Motor oil?

They run at a higher temperature so the oil breaks down faster.


How can you rewire your 220 volt motor to run on 120 volts?

If a motor is designed to run on different voltages there will be a wiring diagram on motor plate for 120 volt wiring. If not you will have to use a step up transformer to convert 120 V to the higher voltage.


What is the minimum voltage a 115vac 400hz 3 phase motor will run?

Yes the minimum voltage of an 115vac 400 Hz 3 phase motor will run. You can run a single phase motor on a three service but you cannot be run on a single phase.
