The voltage and frequency range depends on the individual appliance, but each appliance should have a small plaque on it near where the power cord enters, telling you the working range.

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.
Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?
You can but it would be wise not to. Most 60hz appliances will not work at 50 Hz. <<>> Yes, no problem at all. The frequency does not enter into the equation because the hot plate is a strictly resistive load.
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 an electric grill 220-240 voltage 50HZ output 1800 watts work in Los Angeles?
An electric grill presumably is just a heating element, and so shouldn't be bothered in particular by the 60Hz rather than 50. 220V is available, but primarily for large appliances and such in the US. You might have trouble finding an outlet you can actually plug into.
Will a 120V 60Hz refrigerator operate properly with 120V 50Hz electrical supply?
Answer Possibly. The device will not be harmed, but the fan motors and compressor will run slower making it operate below its intended levels. It will not work as wekk on 50hz as it did on 60hz, but it should work. If it has a ice maker with a motorized timer, that will not work correctly. The timer will turn at a different speed altering the timing.Another AnswerI ran my Canadian 120-V / 60-Hz fridge-freezer for years in the UK, using a 230:120-V transformer at 50 Hz.
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
Will a 220v 50hz cordless phone work in 220v 60hz?
More than likely yes it will work just fine.
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
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.
Will a Steam mop 220v 60hz work on 220v 50hz it uses about 1300w thanks?
Frequency doesn't come into it for normal electrical devices, as long as the voltage matches it will be fine. 50/60hz differences only really affect display equipment.
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.

How will work motor 460V 3ph 60Hz at 380V 3ph 50Hz power net?
It will not work at all.
How can you use your refrigerator with 220V 50Hz in 220V 60Hz power supply?
You would need a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer">freqency convertor</a>. This would probably cost you more (if you consider both initall cost of the convertor and in the long run due to inefficency) than a fridge designed to work in the country you're using it in.
