Potentially quite a nice overclock: 20% faster shaft speed = (theoretically) 20% higher max flow, and 44% more static head (max head proportional to square of rotor speed)
However, as with cpu's, increased frequency may require increased voltage…and more power.
As it won’t be getting more volts than it's 50Hz rating (it's now effectively "undervolted"), it probably won't run 20% faster, or maybe only at low loads. At higher loads, it may slow down more than it should (bad).
Roughly translated - It may be ok in a restrictive loop (low flow/high head = low load).
And it may tend to stall if running unrestricted (high flow=high load)…not good
Just my 2c
No knowledge of Iwaki pumps in particular, just assuming typical asynchronous motor behaviour (YMMV
)
