What Will Happen If We Give 60 HZ Supply To A 50 HZ Rated Induction Motor?

When a 60Hz induction motor is used in a 50Hz environment, it will run **20% slower** and have **20% less power**.

This also means that less energy is required when charging.

However, a motor rated at 60Hz may experience electromagnetic overload when operating at 50Hz, resulting in increased current draw and increased heat in the motor, resulting in failure.

When a 50Hz single-phase motor is brought to 60Hz, the start function can be upset because the motor reaches the centrifugal switch speed **20% earlier** than normal.

When it does, the starting torque of the motor is suddenly reduced.

It could fail to speed up further and never reach normal running speed.
