No D-words, please. :shock: Running an induction motor designed for 60Hz on 50Hz will result in the motor running at 5/6 of the design speed. Maybe at that speed it won't cut so well, it will probably be more prone to stalling (unless you resize the pulleys) but worst of all the fan will not turn as fast and the motor will therefore run hotter and be more susceptible to the windings overheating (and cutting out if there is a thermal cut-out). Overheat windings too many times and the motor will die. Expensive. The other little joy you may have to face (albeit not very likely) is that I believe that Customs & Excise can sieze and impound products being imported into the EU which are not CE-marked and either force you to have them brought up to standard before release or face having them crushed. They cand and do it with toys, etc. very publically. Dealers do get waivers to cover this sort of thing, but they can produce documentary evidence of intent and ability to convert to CE-norm. You'd be unlucky to get caught on this, but it can happen.Scrit
