Can a 415v 50hz motor work on a 440v 60hz system?

It would probably spin, but I don't know if it'd last very long.

First, the speed of AC motors typically are dependent on the frequency ( 50 Hz or 60 Hz) so the motor would be trying to spin 20% faster than designed.

Also, because of the higher voltage, you would have more current running through the motor windings (wiring) than designed. These 2 conditions would cause overheating of the bearings as well as the wiring inside the motor.
