The difference in frequency would cause the compressor to operate out of its design limits. It would not cool properly and fail prematurely.

If transformer is made to operate 60Hz instead of 50 Hz... a> The output of the transformer will increase . Because the voltage induced in the secondary is directly proportional to the frequency. b> There will an increase in hysteresis loss which is number of repetition of the hysteresis loop per cycle.As the cycle will increase and hence the repetition. c> Eddy current loss will increase .Eddy current loss which is directly proportional to the square of the frequency find a new frequency and hence loss increase. d> Increase in skin effect (negligible).

The eddy current loss is directly proportional to frequency. So when frequency increases the loss increases.

99% of all systems work fine on either. Televisions can be the exception. We even run 400 hz systems on 60 hz once in awhile.

What does 50 hertz or 60 hertz mean in an electrical generator?

The unit hertz means "cycles per second" and is a measure of the frequency of variation of anything which changes during a set period of time, including electric current and voltage. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 50 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 50 times per second. Saying that a generator of electricity runs at 60 hertz means that its current and voltage changes regularly at a rate of 60 times per second. The Hertz value can be changed on the generator by increasing or decreasing the speed (RPM) of the prime mover. The generator has a feed back unit that monitors the frequency and automatically applies more power to the prime mover if the load increases and the generator RPM starts to slow down. The reverse happens if the load drops off and the generator starts to speed up, the power to the prime mover will be reduced. On a diesel generator it is the fuel flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value. On a water turbine it is the water flow that is increased and decreased to keep the frequency at a constant value.


What is a 400 hertz generator mean?

It's a generator that creates 400hz AC signals, instead of 50 or 60hz. 400hz is often used on ships, because the equipment (generators, transformers) can be made much smaller.


What is the meaning of rpm of the turbine?

RPM stands for Revolutions Per Minute so, in short, RPM is the number of revolutions that the generator shaft turns in one minute. It seems obvious that the question is really trying to understand RPM vs frequency in Hertz. To understand this, you need to know the number of poles in the rotating and/or stationary magnetic field. In a two pole generator, for instance, an RPM of 1800, or 30 RPS (Revolutions Per Second), yields 60 Hertz power. In a eight pole generator, for instance, an RPM of 450, or 7.5 RPS, yields 60 Hertz power. The equation is simple... FHertz = SRPM / 60 * PNumber of Poles


Can you run a 460 volt 3 phase 60 hertz refrigeration compressor on 460 volt 3 phase 50 hertz?

Possibly. You need to check the rating on the device. Many compressors can operate on either 50 or 60 Hz.


What the letters MHz mean?

The M is short for Mega, which is 1 million. The Hz is short for Hertz, the measure of frequency. MHz is therefore short for Mega Hertz, or 1 million Hertz.

Will AC 220-240v 50hz battery charger work in America?

No, the U.S. electrical system is 60 hertz not 50 hertz. The only way you can use it is if the charger will operate at 50 & 60 hertz which is unlikely but possible. It will be listed on the charger if it will operate at a lower hertz.


220 volts 60 hertz to 220 volts 50 hertz?

Original Answer:If the power was being generated by a generator all that has to be done is slow the RPM of the generator down until the frequency meter reads 50 Hertz. On a hydro site it would be the same scenario by slowing the turbine down.Improved Answer:changing frequency is one of the more difficult things to do. Decreasing the speed of a generator is not a practical answer if the power comes from grid. You can use a variable frequency drive, or a motor generator set (Where the motor is rated for 60HZ, and the Generator is rated at 50 Hertz).For practical purposes, just get rid of the 50 hertz device and buy a new one.

Can you operate a 120V 60 hertz tv on 120V 50 hertz?

no because the tv can only pick up siginals at 60Hz if the signal is 50 Hz it won't pic it up.
