    There’s a reason why the frequency is exactly 50hz or 60hz, and it’s not “at least 50hz or 60hz”. You can’t just have 55hz on the grid, you’ll destroy half a country.

      That’s why I say low frequency is problem, but high is not as much.

        It’s not just about frequency - though that is important for devices that synchronize using the grid. When your frequency is going up because of too much power so will voltage. Think about that for a minute.

          Not necessarily(see field windings), but higher voltage is indeed a problem

            Not everything on the grid is a motor. Even if it was you would still need to rebuild the motor to change field windings.
