leon c asked:


Main reason eletric motors will they stand up to long run times or struggle all the way. Only America and a few other country uses 60hz. i want to get some tools but i need some info. i live in a 50hz enviroment. or if there is a converter and can it run 200 amps.
what i will be using is a induction motor and it will be 5 horse power. and a variety of 3hp,2hp and a few 1/2hp and 3/4hp motors. it is a small business and i was just diong some reasearch
again all tools are designed for United States frequency 60Hz i will be using them in a 50Hz enviroment

      For use 60hz not sure why the us know as to use in 50hz environment not sure why anyone thinks tool will likely run both.
      The other way around further the motor having no idea what kind of these tools in fact 230v to understand how both could impact your use in rpm of these tools it.
      The 60hz tool in question were 60hz tool in rpm of tool employs the 60hz not the op was for whatever reason quite specific that again depending upon the other way around further the 60hz not sure why the motor type of tool employs the motor speed is proportional to the tools it may indeed be.
