You may or you may not. It all depends on the task you are using the motor. If speed is not a concern for you then you may, but for sensitive systems where changes in motor speed affects the system then you may not. The reason is that the frequency of the power supply affects the motor speed. Frequency is directly proportional to speed.

Probably not but certain types of motor are interchangeable. The voltage must be right.

A commutator motor is ok on the wrong frequency, but an induction motor or a synchronous motor will try to run at the wrong speed.

Yes. The speed of the motor will be reduced by 10 Hz when run on 50 Hz.

The speed is proportional to frequency.

Yes, but it is likely to overheat and burn out faster.

A commuator motor would be OK. A synchronous motor would rotate 1/6th more slowly. An induction motor would rotate probably a little slower.

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.


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.

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.

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.


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.


60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?

yes


Will a 220V 60Hz Air-conditioner run safely at 230V 50Hz?

Not really because motors are designed to run at either 50 or 60 Hz and the wrong frequency might cause them to malfunction or overheat.
