Ignoring all other issues; when power goes out the UPS starts providing battery backup power that has been CONVERTED to AC. The UPS will attempt to provide 60 HZ power, and all of the stuff plugged into it will have been designed for 50 HZ power.
ALSO... 50 HZ countries often use 240 V mains inside the home, so the UPS that is designed for 60 HZ 120 V will probably melt down, but if it survives, it will attempt to provide 120 V when the power goes off, meaning that your equipment will probably fail.
The results will be unpredictable and unstable. It isn't really recommended, and if i were you, I wouldn't try it. Only use the proper UPS, the one that is designed for the local current.

Will 60 hz devices work on 50hz?
the maximum rating is 60 hz . it is work in50hz
Will a 240v motor run on 220v power?
yes, the voltage and frequency are both nominal. As long as your within 10% of the rated voltage and frequency of the name plate you will be good. 50Hz and 60Hz are not within 10% of each other. I do not think it will work. u also run the risk of burn out because it will run faster
What is the advantage of 50 Hz ac to 60 Hz ac system?
There really isn't that much of an advantage. Since many countries work with both frequencies, many appliances, especially computers, have the option to run at 50Hz or 60Hz. You will know this because in the back of the unit where the power supply is located, there will be a switch that allows you to change from 50Hz to 60Hz.If you have any type of equipment that does not provide the option to change frequenies, but the equipment was made recently (in the last year), you can safely run it at either frequency. If your equipment is older, you may want to contact the manufacturer to see if they have any special transformer or electronic device that can be connected with the electronic equipment to allow for such a difference in frequency.The only real difference you may experience with certain appliances that run two-phase or three-phase motors is extra heat buildup while running at 60Hz.
What is the voltage and frequency used in US and why?
the voltage and frequency are 110v and 50(or)60hz because the devices which are invented in us are work at that voltage and it is efficient for that devices.
What is the 60 Hz on a welder with the listed input as 208 230 volt single phase 60Hz?
60 Hertz is the frequency that the welder should be connected to, to work as it is designed to.
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
Will a 230V 50Hz drain pump of a washing machine work on a 220V 60Hz?
No! Normally not, the recistance in the windings is to hig on 60Hz and the pump motor has not power enough to work propelly. This happened to myself when I connected my Whirpool AWE 7519 to 230V 60Hz. Europian model for 50Hz.
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
How will work motor 460V 3ph 60Hz at 380V 3ph 50Hz power net?
It will not work at all.
Will a 220v 50hz cordless phone work in 220v 60hz?
More than likely yes it will work just fine.
Do Indian electrical devices work in US?
No India uses 240V at 50Hz the U.S. uses 110V at 60Hz.
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
Hi I'm a barber. can i buy a transformer that can give an output of 120V and at 60HZ in England. Its for my clippers and trimmers. Is there such thing?
You can get a transformer that converts the UK's 230V power to 120V, but you cannot get a transformer that will convert from 50Hz to 60Hz. Often, US equipment can work, except that they will work hotter and less efficiently on the 50Hz power. Consult your clipper and trimmer documentation - you may find that it will work just fine on 50Hz.
Would 120 volts 60Hz power tools work on 220 volts 50Hz?
No, the extra voltage will burn them out very quickly !
Will a device that is rated as 110V AC 60Hz and 3A work with a step down convertor with 220V to 110V and 50Hz rating?
Depending on the device, it may or may not work. And if it works, it won't work properly. A 60Hz devices needs 60 cycle current, not 50.
Do you need a TV with 120hz for Xbox 360 or will 60hz work as well?
60hz Works fine I assume, I've got the same TV that i used to play Game cube and that always asks about 60hz or 50hz some times even 40hz! So I assume you can!
What will happen if you use a 220 240 VAc 50Hz iron to 220 240 AC 60Hz?
It should work with no problems, since the frequency does not affect the work or the iron heater.
