380/60 Motors in US

[njcrazy44]

I have a project that is being sent to Saudi that requires some Fan Coil-AC units with 380/60 phase motors. Is it possible to purchase another voltage and convert them in the field?
Is there anything I need to be concerned with? As long as I don't provide controls will I be alright?

You would be much better off sourcing US market fan coils for this application - the motors in FCU's are not generally standard units - you could possibly change out the fan unit, but it would be cheaper to buy US models off the shelf. Also check your quality requirements - if US power is required, do they also want UL listed? The listing is for the whole unit.

Controls are more likely to work in both locations - power supplies excepted.
