    Why can't I run my 60hz motor on 50hz?

    Thank You. I had been told by a motor rebuilder that the voltage wasn't the issue and that I was probably still operating in the start winding even though it tached at 5/6's (50hz vs 60 hz) of the rated motor speed (1450-1725rpm). So I disassembled the motor to ensure everything was working...
