Hello all,
This is not a PLC question but I am sure there are people out there who can answer. We have a system that is going over sea's. Current supply voltage is 120vac 60hz 20amp, with the biggest load being a 1/2hp motor. The voltage will be 240vac 50hz(I think it 240, its going to Israel) . The motor can be wired for 240 but what happens at 50hz? I am sure the motor will run slower but can it be damaged, will there be excess heat build up? I have called the pump manufacture and no one seemed to know for sure what would happen. Thanks for help.
