[GreenKeys] Variable Frequency Drives for synchronous motors 50/60Hz

Hi All,

We in the 50Hz 240V world have a problem with machines fitted with 60Hz synchronous motors. Machines originally used here are fitted with governed 110V motors but I have acquired two with 60Hz sync motors. The 240/110V problem is easily fixed with a transformer. But.
Has anyone experience with using Variable Speed Drive Units, 240V drives are readily available but would have to power the motor via a transformer.
Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Kind regards,

73 Pete VK5XP
