Hi
I am new to this forum and read somewhere that lower voltage (lower that nameplate) causes lower amps on a motor.
An assumption people often make is that since low voltage increases the amperage draw on motors, then high voltage must reduce the amperage draw and heating of the motor. Is this the case?
Does high voltage on a motor tend to push the magnetic portion of the motor into saturation. This causes the motor to draw excessive current in an effort to magnetize the iron beyond the point where magnetizing is practical.
