I am looking at a Baldor 1/2 HP 3 phase motor, Catalog number M3538-50. On the nameplate it is labeled 50 Hz and 1425 RPM. Would it be safe to run this motor on 60 Hz? I understand that it would run at 1725 RPM (which is what I want). Most motor nameplates that I have seen specify that they can be wired for either frequency.
I just want to make sure that I can use this motor before I buy it.
