[Amps] Here's a Shocker

[Will Matney]

All the electric motors, less the DC motors, would have to be changed 
out to ones which would run at the higher frequency. That would be one 
way to lower the unemployment rates..hi hi....... One would have to use 
120 Hz to make the RPM match up in the end I would think. If the speeds 
were increased, the torque drops so they would have to use the same 
speed motors that is currently being used. If the motors run at X2 the 
speed, the torque would be 1/2 what it supposed to be thus any hoists or 
cranes would only be able to lift 1/2 the load but X2 as quick. Same 
thing in any other machinery too. That would end up a very expensive 
change over =)
