    anyone knows is it posible to drive singlephase ac iduction motor on frequency higher then 50 hz to get more speed?

    You would probably have more luck that going lower than 50hz, split phase induction motors tend to drop out of run if the rpm/load is taken too low.

    The motor inductance (coil values) and phase shift capacitance starter, are probably tuned for 50Hz, max torque..etc.

    So probably not - the higher frequency would result in higher 'resistance to motion'/or un-synced 'phases'
