No, these are two different distribution systems. The North American system uses 60 Hz and the European system uses 50 Hz.

What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?

Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.


Will my single phase 240v 60Hz mig welder work with single phase 230v 50Hz?

Yes, your single-phase 240V 60Hz MIG welder can typically work with a single-phase 230V 50Hz supply, but there are important considerations. The voltage difference is minor and usually acceptable, but the frequency difference may affect the welder's performance and efficiency. It's advisable to check the manufacturer's specifications for compatibility and, if needed, consult with a qualified electrician for any necessary adjustments or converters.


How can you determine if an electric motor is 50HZ or 60HZ if there is no name plate?

One way would be to hook it up to a supply (by itself, with no load) and measure the speed with a contact tachometer. If your supply is 60Hz, and the motor speed corresponded to one of the standard motor speeds, it would be a pretty safe bet you had a 60Hz motor. If the speed was about 20% faster than a standard speed, the motor is probably a 50Hz motor. Or 20% slower if you were running a 60Hz motor on 50Hz For instance, a 1750 RPM 50Hz motor would spin at about 2100 RPM if you ran it on 60Hz.


Is there anyway to get 120V 60hz from a 100V 50hz power supply?

A motor-generator or a solid state power converter can do this.Motor-generators are an old electromechanical technology. In this case you would use a 240V 50Hz synchronous motor and a 110V 60Hz generator with their shafts connected so the motor turns the generator.Solid state power converters use a high power rectifier to convert the input AC to DC, a precisely tuned oscillator to set the output frequency, and a high power class AB push-pull amplifier powered by the high voltage DC and driven by the oscillator to generate the output voltage.


Can you use a 480V 60hz deep fryer on a 380v 50hz power supply stepped up to 480v 50hz by a transfomer?

It is an extremely expensive way of utilizing the deep fat fryer. You should look into changing the heating coils in the fryer to utilize the new voltage. That said it can be done.

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.


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.


Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?

No, 120 v is not enough.


Can you plug a 50hz 230v refrigerator to a 60hz 230v supply?

It is not advisable because the motor would run 20% faster which might produce damaging overpressure in the thermal circuit.


Can you use 230V 50Hz AV reciver to a 220V 60Hz?

Yes, you can use a 230V 50Hz AV receiver in a 220V 60Hz electrical system. The small difference in voltage and frequency should not cause any significant issues or damage to the AV receiver. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations or consult with a professional to ensure compatibility.


Can a 230V 50Hz Rice Cooker used in 220V 60Hz circuit?

Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.


Will an 230V 50Hz air compressor operate on 220V 60Hz?

Yes, a 230V 50Hz air compressor can generally operate on 220V 60Hz, as the voltage difference is minimal and often acceptable for most appliances. However, the change in frequency may affect the compressor's performance, potentially leading to reduced efficiency or overheating. It is essential to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility and avoid potential damage.

What happens to a 120V 60HZ food dehydrator when connected to a 240V 50HZ supply using a voltage converter?

When a 120V 60Hz food dehydrator is connected to a 240V 50Hz supply using a voltage converter, the dehydrator may receive the correct voltage but could be affected by the frequency difference. The dehydrator is designed to operate at 60Hz, so using a 50Hz supply may cause it to run slower or inefficiently, potentially impacting drying performance and leading to overheating. Additionally, if the converter is not designed to handle the power requirements of the dehydrator, it could fail or damage the appliance.


Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?

You can but it would be wise not to. Most 60hz appliances will not work at 50 Hz. <<>> Yes, no problem at all. The frequency does not enter into the equation because the hot plate is a strictly resistive load.
