Answer / jignesh kadia

yes, motor will run with lesser torque & speed..but after
some time it's get overheated because of they run under
exited condition.the emf not much produce to rotor cause
rotate at rated speed so that humming produce in it. the
losses are produce in motor and it's get overheated.. and
motor will burn out..

Answer / suhas

yes, it will run.... since voltage is lower, to maintain
the output power to its rated capacity it draws more
current...due to which the windings get heated and burnout
will take place....

Answer / suresh kumar

Motor will run with lesser speed and torque. But if the

and motor may burn.
