the motor is 3hp 850rpm 480volt 60hz tefc connected to a gearbox via belts the box has a 50:1 ratio and the belt drive is 50:1 as well, the gearbox is is directly connected to an auger that feeds wood chips into a 300 hp boiler, i need more fuel for my boiler so i need to increse the rpm without increasing the amperage the motor draws,as it is maxed out already, so therfore cannot change the ratios of pullys or gearbox, i have ran the moter at short periods of time at 120hz with no problems but want to know if this will damage my motor it never got hot or kicked out, by the way i am running a saftronics pc 10 inverter with a 3hp rating i really need to find the most cost efective fix for this.
