Most appliciances that are built for use with 220V would normally be fine with 240V. In most cases, they are also labeled 220-240V. Depending on how critical the application is, you should probably check with the manufacturer.

What is ac generator?
An AC or alternating current generator is a piece of machinery that produces AC electricity. Most commonly this machine is powered by steam.in simple terms it consists of a series of blades that are turned by steam.a magnetic field is excited on the rotor which then cuts through lines of magnetism that are present on the stator by the power grid. As more power is applied to the rotor, the turbine must spin harder,not faster, to push more power onto the grid. RPM of rotor is determined by the number of poles in the stator. Most commonly a turbine will spin at 3600rpm.... or, 60 times per second giving us the USA electrical grid a 60Hz frequency. This is scratching the paint on AC generation but its a start.
Why voltage have negative sign?
The strength of a electrical flow is measured in Voltage and Electrons are negative. Alternating current (AC) oscillates between positive and negative as the direction of flow periodically reverses direction. An alternating current of 60Hz therefore changes direction 60 times a second, and can be visualised as a sine wave that oscillates above and below the zero baseline, with a period (a complete cycle) of 1/60th of a second. Direct current (DC) infers constant polarity, meaning the direction of flow is unidirectional (one direction only). While DC can oscillate as a full-wave rectification or a half-wave rectification, it is always indicated as a positive voltage (the line or wave is always above the zero baseline). A voltage or current indicated with a negative symbol therefore implies alternating current although AC is more correctly indicated by the ± symbol. Direct current is generally indicated by a long horizontal bar above three short horizontal bars.
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
Can you plug kettle 220V 50hz into 220V 60hz outlets?
Yes, no problem.
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
How can you convert US 120V or 240V circuit into a single phase 240V circuit to use on a European appliance?
The voltage isn't a problem, you can run 220 from your house and use that to run a European appliance, the problem is whether the appliance is dependant on line HZ. European is 50HZ and US is 60HZ. If the appliance specifies 220/50HZ, it will probably give you trouble here. If it says 220V/50 or 60HZ
How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?
you can't
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
What has to be done to connect 220v 50Hz refrigerator to 220v 60Hz power supply?
nothing
Can we use an electric oven and a blender with 220V 50Hz in a 220V 60Hz source?
Yes, as long as the voltage is the same it will not cause any issues. The frequency, or Hertz, is only a problem for large electric motors and clocks.
Will a 220v 50hz cordless phone work in 220v 60hz?
More than likely yes it will work just fine.
How do you connect a 230volt 60Hz air conditioning unit with one phase wire to a 240 volt 60Hz two phase south American supply?
Treat the USA 2 Phases as 1, its called split phase, instead of Line and Neutral, you ahve two phases but they deliver 240v, this will not hurt a 230v machine as the chances are that you are NOT getting 240v supply at the delivery point anyway. As long as the machine si 60Hz and supply 60Hz, you will not have a problem
What happens to a 220v 50hz aircondition when connected to a 220v 60hz supply?
Probably nothing. There is a slight chance that it might make a difference but i doubt it. Problem is that it is very likely that this will make your warranty void. I would call the manufacturer and ask if I were you.
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
