Increasing the frequency (hertz) of an electric motor typically increases its speed, but it does not directly increase the amps drawn by the motor. Instead, the current (amps) will depend on the load the motor is driving. If the load remains constant and the frequency increases, the motor may indeed draw more current to maintain torque, but if the load decreases or stays the same, the current may not significantly change. Always consider the motor's specifications and its load characteristics for accurate predictions.
