[QUOTE="kme, post: 74870, member: 113"] Wouldn`t expect an issue [I]per se[/I], as the motor is likely to be of the carbon brush type, which will, as previously stated, affect the speed by a factor of 83% (i.e. a set rotational speed of 3000rpm 60hz is likely to provide you with a speed of 2490 rpm. It shouldn`t cause overheating, as the machine is varispeed anyway. However, if the speed control is electronic, all bets are off and anything may happen (!) In your position, I would connect to a standard site TX, as you are planning. It should be ok. Just don`t quote or sue me if it doesn`t work. HTH KME [/QUOTE]
