You will have to either plug in a voltage converter to drop the voltage from 220 to 110 or rewire the main power supply inside the amplifier (if this is possible). Most electronic equipment will run on either 50Hz or 60Hz power cycles, so there is no conversion necessary for the frequency.

Apart from using a step-down transformer (which wouldn't do anything about the Hz anyhow) there's really no sensible way to do that conversion. Someone skilled enough could replace the power source in the amp for you, but unless the amp is something really special, it would cost you a lot more than a new amp would.

How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?

you can't


Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?

Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.


Why doesn't my 110v Wahl hair clippers work correctly when plugged into a power converter converting 220 v to 110 the screw on the side has no effect?

The internal working of the motor is designed for 110V/60Hz. Your stepdown converter is from 220V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz. Frequency converters from 50Hz to 60Hz are very expensive (many times the cost of a new clipper). Therefore it is better you get a clipper designed for 220V/50Hz. If you still like to put your clipper to use, then the most cost effective solution would be to get a "car inverter" that would convert 12V DC to 110V/60Hz AC.


Is 50Hz to 110V as 60Hz is to 220V?

No. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.


I have a 1960 vintage Juke Box that runs on European 220v 50Hz power. Is there a device I can purchase that will convert US 110v 60Hz power to run this machine?

Yes, purchase a step-down transformer.


What happens to a 220v 50hz stereo amplifier when connected to a 220v 60hz supply?

Nothing happens. The stereo has a transformer that converts the power to DC, and 50 or 60 Hz input makes no difference.


Can you run a 60hz 110V motor on 50 hz 220V with a step down transformer?

NO dear we can not rotate a 110 vlolt motor on 220,but if your voltage is 110v then y can rotate it on 50hz ,no problem,but it will rotate at lower speed, ENGR. NASEER AHMED,PAKISTAN


Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?

It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.

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.


Will English 110v site tools work in America?

The answer to your question varies on what the tool requires. In some European countries, they run 110v @ 50Hz as well as supply 220v @ 50Hz. Check your tool's power information to see if it runs on dual voltage. I know that most of my tools that I have bought from the United States require 110v @ 60Hz but operate just fine in Europe. The short answer is, probably yes, but check with the manufacture's user guide.
