| 60 htz to 50 htz question.. gents, i find here a nice used watermaker ( HRO ) but it's a 110/235volts 60 htz ... the control panel have connecting option for 235v ,( a transfo convert in 12v dc, should be ok) , but the motor and the oil capacitor will probably not like running with 220v/50 htz ??? if only slower, is not a problem as i can change the sheave to keep the same speed on the cat pump... any advise ??  thanks bertho  |

| Don not buy it if you have no 60 Hz power grid, unless you are willing to install another motor. This one will run but draws a lot of current and burns out.

| Yep, Freq Drive would solve all your Frequency and Voltage problems, motor wise... Hatachi makes some really nice ones that are very reasonable in price for small electric motors....

perhaps i can re-wire the motor to fit for 50 htz.. ? it's something easy and frequent to do here...labor is cheap , or fit a new motor..
