Well, friend, hertz (Hz) measures frequency, while amps measure electrical current. They are two different things, like happy little trees and fluffy clouds in the sky. So, 60 Hz refers to the frequency of alternating current, while amps measure the flow of that current. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents in the world of electricity!

Hertz (Hz) measures the frequency of alternating current. It does not directly relate to amperage, which measures the flow of electric current. Amps depend on the voltage and resistance of a circuit, rather than the frequency of the current.
Hz means Hertz which is a measure of frequency. It was once just referred to as cycles per second. In the USA 60 Hz is the normal frequency for AC in a business or residence. It has nothing to do with the amperage per se.
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.
To find the power in watts, multiply the amperage (60 amps) by the voltage (115 volts). So, 60 amps * 115 volts = 6900 watts.
The unit of frequency, such as 50 Hz in this case, refers to the number of cycles per second. Amps, on the other hand, represent current flow in a circuit. The frequency (Hz) and current (Amps) are two different electrical quantities and are not directly related to each other.
The standard frequency for electrical outlets in most countries is 60 Hz, which means the voltage switches direction 60 times per second.
The number of amps at 240 volts and 60 Hz depends on the device or appliance you are using. To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, if you know the power in watts of the device, you can determine the amperage at 240 volts.
