Out out voltage of 3 phase inverter

MrJack96
I’m trying to understand if we have a three phase motor 50/60hz what would we set the voltage at for the inverter?  If 50hz I can see it being 415 here in the uk but say if we was running the motor at 60hz can we up the voltage to say 480v? 


thanks guys

    A rather odd feature of motors made in the USA, or intended for sale in the USA  is that they are rated for a bit less than the nominal supply voltage.

    This on the grounds that the voltage at the motor terminals may be bit less than at incoming supply.


    Common motor voltages include 115 volts, for 120 volt circuits.

                                                          200 volts for 208 volt circuits.

                                                          230 volts for 240 volt circuits.

                                                          460 volts for 480 volt circuits.

                                                and     575 volts for 600 volt circuits.


    All at 60 cycles. The most common voltage is probably a 460 volt motor for operation from a 480 volt circuit. 3 phase, 4 wire systems at 277/480 volts are very common in the USA.

    Small motors for domestic appliances and the like are often 115 volts for operation on a 120 volt circuit.
