I have moved my American (and Taiwanese)machinery to Romania. My main concern is a 220v, 60hz, 5 hp machine with an accessory 60 v motor being run on 230v, 50hz. Reduced performance, unless substantial, is not a problem. Burning up machinery is. Another machine, of much higher quality, had the cycles changed from 60 to 50 by using weaker springs on the armature at the back of the motor. They supplied the springs and cautioned I not use the machine for more than 15 minutes continuously or I might heat up and overload the motor as it is now reading 276 volts. I'm a carpenter, not an electrical engineer. I don't have a clue of how that works; I just did what the engineer said. Can you help? Thanks, Dave
As immediate solution, a variable voltage transformer, called VARIAC, might help. A 5hp part is rather big and costly though.
