Rewinding a Motor from 50Hz to 60Hz 5

[Richard888]

Hi guys I'm new here and in need of your professional advice.

I have a burnt Karcher HD 6/15C pressure washer. The motor was a 230Vac single phase 50Hz 3.1kw we connect it to 230Vac 60Hz and the windings get burnt.

Now I'd like to rewind it and I've been searching the net on how to convert it to same voltage but at 60Hz.

Do I need to increase the turns by 60/50 and reduce the wire size by 50/60 in circular mils for me to convert it from 50Hz to 60Hz motor? and also do I need to change the capacitor value?

Thanks

Wow, it's not often I see that kind of markup on products in the US - normally there seems to be £/$ numerical equivalance (i.e. we pay nearly double what you guys do). I am genuinely amazed.

Do you have a part number so I can compare to a British / European model? The motor looks very like one I scrapped last year. Repairing these things is a little sideline I dabble in now and then. I can see why you would like to get it repaired if it cost that much.
