Optimal Conversion
The V/Hz ratio remains identical. The motor will deliver its rated torque safely at the new speed.
Engineering Reference
Synchronous Speed
RPM = 120 × f / p
Magnetic Flux
Flux ≈ V / f
- f = Frequency (Hz)
- p = Number of Poles
- V/Hz = Maintaining this ratio constant ensures constant motor torque capabilities without overheating.
