Hello List Members, This question may seem strange to some you, but I need some insight. The utilization voltage here in the US is 460v 60Hz. On Brazil the Voltage is 440v 60Hz (please correct me if I am wrong). I know the importance of keeping the frequency as specified because of heat build up. I was told by some one who works for Baldor that you can operate an AC motor below name plate rating if you derate the Hp. I know this may seem dumb, but I'm asking because I am sending equipment to Brazil that was originally connected to a 380V system and Brazil's voltage is 440v. What are the consequences?
