ONE THING FOR SURE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN VOLTAGE IF SAME EQUIPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE CHANGING LOAD FREQUENCY 60HZ TO 50HZ OR VICE VERSA. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR HORSEPOWER AND R.P.M. WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 90 AND 83 PERCENT OF THE NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS, ALSO THE FULL LOAD RUNNING TORQUE WILL INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT IF USED FROM 60HZ TO 50HZ.

How do you convert 60hz into 50hz?
I'm going to assume you're referring to the frequency of AC (Alternating Current) and I'm going to assume that you're asking because you have some device that wants 50Hz and you are faced with a 60Hz supply. That is a lot of assumptions but you didn't give a lot of information.It is possible but you'd have to convert the 60Hz AC to DC then back to 50Hz AC. It would involve some expensive equipment. I'm not aware of a one-box solution but you could piece together a system with an AC-DC battery charger, adequate storage batteries, and a DC-AC power inverter. Depending on your application, you might be better off replacing the equipment that won't run on 60Hz.Before running off and spending your money on this, check the labels for your equipment. The label on my laptop power supply says it accepts 110vac-240vac at 50/60Hz. If you're going to run into problems it would most likely be with electric motors.
How can you differentiate DC and ac?
DC is direct current. It is characterized as a voltage or current that is constant or, more precisely, always in one direction. A battery is an example of a DC source. AC is alternating current. It is characterized as a voltage or current that is alternating, i.e. changing direction at some frequency such as 50Hz or 60Hz. The power supplied to your home from the public power utility is an example of an AC source. ac is attractive in nature while dc is repulsive .
In India the alternating current ac change its direction time within one second?
I believe India runs on 50Hz power, so 100 times.
The motor states it is 230V single phase to operate. Does that mean you need two 120V lines in and just a ground with no neutral?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. The proper terminology is L1,L2,N. N is for neutral and it is this wire that is grounded. The voltage measurement from the L1 to N will give you 120 volts. Also from L2 to N will give you 120 volts and from L1 to L2 will give you 240 volts. Single pole breakers in the panel board starting at the top, alternate between L1 and L2 all the way down to the bottom. These breakers all have 120 volt outputs. If you plug a 2 pole breaker into two slots then you get a 240 volt output because L1 and L2 are adjacent to one another. If the rating plate on this motor says 230V and it has a brown wire (the 230V "hot" or live"), a blue wire (the "neutral") and a yellow/green wire (the "earth" or "ground") it was designed for use in Europe or other world areas which use a 50Hz supply. Those wires mean it requires just one "hot", running at 230V and a neutral. In 50Hz areas that neutral is connected to earth (ground) back at the breaker panel. If you are planning to use it in a 60Hz area, such as US or Canada, it would be wise to determine exactly how the ground wire is wired inside the motor. Check it by using a test meter: if it was made in the past 30 years or so the earth/ground wire should be connected only to the frame of the motor and should not be connected to the neutral wire in any way. If you are sure that is the case, then you can use the motor but only if you do not use the 60Hz supply's neutral, which is the white wire. Connect the motor's brown wire to one of the 60Hz supply's "hots" - say the red. Then connect its blue wire to the 60Hz supply's other "hot" - say the black. (It doesn't actually matter which hot goes to which.) Be sure to connect its ground wire to the 60Hz supply's ground, which is green or bare wire, and do not connect the 60Hz supply's white neutral at all. Just leave it blanked off inside an insulated connector or wire nut.If it is an old type of 50Hz motor it might have a red (or, in newer models a brown) 230V hot wire with a black (or, in newer models a blue) neutral wire with plain green (or yellow/green) ground wire. If, using a meter, you find the motor's ground wire is linked both to the frame of the motor and to its neutral wire, that link to the neutral will have to be cut before you try to use the motor. Leave the ground wire connected only to the motor's frame. If you don't make sure that link is cut so that the neutral is no longer connected to the ground wire, you will have big problems when you hook up the motor because, back at the breaker panel, the 60Hz supply's neutral is connected to the ground, so if that link within the motor had not been removed, it would cause a short to whichever 60Hz hot (red or black) you connected to the motor's neutral wire! Note: if the motor does not have brushes running on an armature then it is a squirrel cage or similar type induction motor, which means that, running on 60Hz, it will spin at a speed 60/50 of its rated design running speed. That is 20% faster than it would spin at 50Hz, so it would be wise to check that the higher speed is suitable for the equipment you want to use the motor for. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
Why 50hz frequency supply in India?
There are no sensible technical reasons to have to do anything to change the electrical power distribution network in India to 60 Hz because its present 50 Hz system works perfectly well.Many other countries of the world use 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz and the only reason to discuss whether there should be a changeover is principally a matter of government/ political debate.The answers to the Related Questions, shown below, give more information about the reasons for the existence of both 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical power distribution networks in the world.Another answerDo you have an appliance that does not work properly at 50 Hz?- If it is a device designed to run on 60 Hz it usually has to be modified to run on 50 Hz. Remember that the voltage has to be changed too.- For an electric clock, the answer is to get another clock. The gear ratio would have to be changed.- For a phonograph or tape recorder, the motor pulley is usually exchanged for one calibrated for 50 Hz.- Most electronic devices (radios, amplifiers, computers) do not have to be converted, but some with an undersized power supply could overheat or hum at 50 Hz.- Power tools run a little slower, but should work if converted for voltage.- Light bulbs can't tell the difference in frequency.- Anything with an AC adaptor can probably be run with an equivalent adaptor sold by the company for the purpose.
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.
What is better a plugin charger with an input of 100-240vac 50-60hz 0.15a output 5.0v0.7a or a phone charger with an input of 100v-240v 0.2a 50hz-60hz an output of 5.0v800ma?
The one with the output of 5v 800ma as this will charge devices quicker and overheat less.
Is there a difference between Australian and American power supplies?
There is a difference. For one thing, Australia works at 50hz and America at 60hz, and in domestic supply, Australia works at 240v and America at 110v.
Which of the resolutions is full HD?
Full HD is one of the following: 720p at 50 Hz, 59.94Hz or 60Hz 1080i at 50 Hz, 59.94Hz or 60Hz 1080p at 23.98Hz, 24 Hz, 25Hz, 29.97Hz, 30Hz, 50Hz or 59.94Hz 1035i at 50Hz, or 59.94Hz (now a disused format) The frame or field rate depends on the content as well as the region in which the signal is used. Film originated content is sometimes stored at 23.98, 24 or 25 frames per second. North America and other NTSC based countries use a field rate of 29.97, 30, 59.94 or 60Hz while Europe and PAL based countries work on 25 and 50Hz. 480i and 576i are both standard definition.
Why does your 360 play DVDs and stream in 50hz when you have 60?
European video content is normally produced at a 50Hz field rate while North American content is usually made in 60Hz. When streaming video, it is much better to use the original frame rate than change it to a different one. Frame rate conversion is one of the hardest conversions to carry out so players and displays will always adapt to the frame rate of the source material if they can. It may simply be the case that incoming video is 50Hz material so it will get displayed at 50Hz. It might also be the case that the player is set to operate at 50Hz in the menu settings. Depending on the region it comes from, the player may be factory configured to output only at 50Hz. The manual that came with the player may specify this.
What is the time to complete one cycle of 60 Hz AC?
Hz is short for Hertz, which is the international standard (SI) unit of frequency of an alternating current (AC) voltage. 50Hz means the voltage alternates 50 times per second, 60Hz obviously means 60 times/sec. 60Hz is the normal frequency of the incoming power lines in North America, while 50Hz is seen in many European countries. While convertors exist to use electric devices on a different voltage, convertors generally are not available to use 50Hz devices on a 60Hz power grid, or vice-versa. While some devices can be used on either, many others will not work or may even be damaged. Check with the manufacturer to be sure. Incidentally, since the unit of Hertz is named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, it is customary to capitalize the H. So 60Hz is considered correct, while 60hz is not.

Can you convert 120vac 60Hz to 220vac 50Hz?
The 120 to 220 is fairly easy, if you can find a transformer with the right rating. Odds are, the closest you can get reasonably easy will get you 240 instead of 220. Usually not a problem though. But going from 60 Hz to 50 Hz is another ball game entirely, and I can't think of any gadget that would let you do that easily and inexpensively.
If two induction motors have same ratings except that one is designed for 50Hz and the other for 60Hz then which one will have larger size and why?
the motor with frequency 60Hz will be larger. As frequency is inversly proportional to the flux, now for 60 Hz the flux will be small and it will be not enough to give us the required output (given that output of both motors are also equal), so to increase the flux we will increase number of tuns of stator's winding and hence the machine's size will increase.
