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.

A 120 V power supply connected to a 30 ohm resistor will produce how many amps of current?
A 120V power supply connected to a 30 Ohm resistor will produce 120/30 or 4 amps of current.
Is 12 volts dc as powerful as 120 volts ac?
You get power by multiplying the amperes and the voltage. 12V, 10A dc would give the same power as 120V, 1A ac.
Can a 120V light fixture be used in India?
It can be if you connect two same watt lamps in series with each other. The 240 volt supply will drop 120 volts across each lamp.
What can be used to electrically isolate a piece of equipment from the power distribution system?
Assuming you are speaking of a standard 120v AC power, a simple one-to-one isolation transformer is made for this purpose. Be sure power rating is big enough for the load.
What is a 100 amp 208 single phase?
That is 20.8 kVa but a 208 v single phase supply is very rare. 208 v is usually three-phase, with 120v between neutral and the live wires.
What voltage does the power supply uses in US?
Input would be 120v at 60hz. Standard US wall power.
How do you wire 12V AC to 120V DC?
You would need a 12VDC to 120VAC power supply.
Can you get a 230v supply from a 120v 3ph supply?
Yes.
What type of diode is a msc 8832 s 2140?
120v/12v 30amp power supply comes to mind.
Can you run 220V 50Hz on 120V 60Hz?
If you mean - can you run a 220v device on 120v where the 220v device needs that level of voltage to operate correctly then the answer is no. Even disregarding the frequency difference which some devices aren't affected by, the voltage difference is too great. Some devices these days, such as phone chargers, laptop power supply units etc will run happily on a voltage range from 100v up to 240v (read the label first) but they are the exception. The question is somewhat ambiguous and needs more information.
Can you plug 110V appliance in a 100V outlet?
A previous member answered: "No. You will need a step up transformer to be able to use 110v appliances in 100v sockets." This is incorrect. In the US, the AC supplied to household outlets may be called 100, 110, 0r 120 Volts. These all refer to the U.S. nominal 110 Volt supply, which can range from as low as 95 volts and as high as 125 volts and most appliances labeled for 110 Volts may be used in the socket. Generally, if the plug fits, it's safe.
Can you take single phase of 120V with a hot wire and a neutral step up to 480v and then step down to 2 phases of 120V or do you have to input 2 phases of 120v to get 240V out?
Theoretically that can be done with transformers, but the power available would still be limited by the circuit breaker on the original 120 v supply.
What is the standard power supply?
In North America, Japan and some of northern South America, standard power supply is within 10% of 120V at 60Hz in Europe, Australia, most of South America, Africa and Asia, and New Zealand it's 230V at 50 Hz.
Where can you find a 120V power cable?
You can find a 120V power cable at your local hardware store. Look in the section under extension cords.
How many volts does a standard PC require?
PC manufacturers supply units in various countries for the domestic house voltage applying there. In the US this is 120v, in Europe 230v, and in Japan 100v. The PC internal volts are identical, they simply have the required transformer/rectifier to give this from the house supply, whatever its value. In some cases the PC can be supplied with dual voltage capability, to make use either side of the Atlantic possible.
What a power supply do?
...It "supplies the power" to whatever device you're referring to.Baffling, I know.Another answer:A power supply converts 120V or 240V AC power (sometimes called "wall", "line" or "mains" power) into various regulated DC voltages needed in a piece of electronic equipment. In a computer, for example, the power supply will typically provide +12V, +5V, +3.3V and -12V sources to the various components. Voltage regulators in the power supply help keep the voltages steady, even when the input voltage sags.
