I have got an 1HP induction motor rated at 230V(line), 60Hz. If I run it at 185V(line) at 65Hz, what factors are affected in its performance?
I am hoping for your expert advices..

uart said:By my cacluations you'll be running about 74% flux density, get about 60% peak torque and as little as 54% starting torque.
An induction motor at low voltage is an electric motor that operates at a lower voltage than its rated voltage. This can be due to various factors such as power supply limitations or intentional voltage reduction for energy efficiency.
An induction motor operates at low voltage by reducing the voltage supplied to the motor. This can be done through a transformer or by using an inverter to convert the voltage from AC to DC and then back to AC at a lower voltage.
The main advantage of using an induction motor at low voltage is energy efficiency. By operating at a lower voltage, the motor consumes less power and reduces energy costs. It also helps in reducing motor heating and extends the lifespan of the motor.
One potential disadvantage is that the torque output of the motor decreases at low voltage, which can affect the performance of the motor. Additionally, using an inverter to reduce the voltage can introduce harmonics and affect the power quality.
No, an induction motor has a specific rated voltage that it is designed to operate at. Operating the motor at a significantly lower voltage than the rated voltage can cause damage to the motor and decrease its efficiency.
