Is 50Hz power the norm in europe?  In the US we use 60Hz.  I would imagine that speeding the engine up to 1800 RPM would give 60Hz if needed though.

Andy:

That was frost damage :-))

50Hz is pretty much standard all through Europe and Asia, but there
are pockets of 60Hz around, particularly where there are no national
grid supplies.

The engine can be run at 60Hz to give more output, that would be
1800rpm, but noisier.
