	I have a European Standard Induction Motor as rated : Volt : 380 Vac Freq: 50Hz Output: 22kW Rpm: 1480rpm (4 pole) In Asia, 3Phase power requirement will be: 415V, 50Hz. I would like to use this motor in Asia. In my opinion, considering the voltage drop along the line from MCC will reduce the volt to some varies value. Does the value would make the motor run?? Is it run efficiently?? Any other things that we should consider?? __________________ Elect & Instr

	TonyS response sums it all. It can be said that the three phase, 50Hz motors rated 380V, 400V, 415V, 440V can be interchangeably used without any problem to the motor. The torque and current characteristics change depending on the actual voltage vis-a-vis the rated voltage and that needs to be verified with the connected load requirements and the switchgear component ratings. __________________ Raghunath

	Until about 15 years ago European 3ph motors were 380v and UK motors 415v, then they decided to standardise at 400v. In reality not a lot was changed, and these motors will usually easily run at 400v plus or minus 10%, so you should be OK.
