60hz to 50hz [RE-wrenches]

[Matt Tritt]

David,

Since it's such a low power load, why not sell him a small 50 Hz export
model inverter co-connected to the same battery bank? Since he won't be
running his grain mill all the time he can start the inverter only when
he needs it. The only question would be what the DC frequency generated
by the SW might cause some unknown problems.

I have a customer who purchased a high quality stainless steel grain
mill grain recently. He was careful to make sure that the wattage (320w)
was within his systems capabilities but he was unaware that he was
buying a West German product that uses 50hz at 220v.

He wants to know the options for operating this from his Trace SW
system. I do not have experience with 50hz motors.

Can he run this off of a t-former at 60hz 235 to 240v? Would it ruin the
motor, as well as run faster?

Is there a device that can drop Hz?

He can return this grain mill, but he really likes the quality I guess
and he wants to know if I can make it work for him.

Dave
