If the fan motor says 220 230 240 they will all work on those voltages The rating are important The higher the voltage, the amps will be lower=cheaper to run Same goes for frequency( hz ) the higher number runs faster U can use a higher rated hz on a lower hz it will run slower than normal U cannot always do the reverse especially dealing with hz and voltage Your application will work safely but look at motor nameplate it might be rated for multiple voltages and frequencies Also the motor will detriorate a little bit faster when u use 230v on something designed for excalty 220v but this is still safe

How will work motor 460V 3ph 60Hz at 380V 3ph 50Hz power net?

It will not work at all.


Hi I'm a barber. can i buy a transformer that can give an output of 120V and at 60HZ in England. Its for my clippers and trimmers. Is there such thing?

You can get a transformer that converts the UK's 230V power to 120V, but you cannot get a transformer that will convert from 50Hz to 60Hz. Often, US equipment can work, except that they will work hotter and less efficiently on the 50Hz power. Consult your clipper and trimmer documentation - you may find that it will work just fine on 50Hz.


Will a 220v 60Hz US mig welder work with a 220v 50Hz supply in Africa?

Hi - it should be OK but the transformer might overheat a little if it is used intensively, so it need to be used carefully. The reason is that the magnetic flux in the core is 15-20% greater at 50 Hz, and that increases the heat produced in the transformer. Going in reverse, a 50 Hz transformer will work fine on 60 Hz.


Will a 110V 60Hz home theater system bought in the US work in Singapore which uses a 220V 50Hz by just using a voltage transformer?

Your stereo system has an internal transformer in the power supply that is designed to operate at a given frequency. If it is designed to operate at the load your stereo system will use at 50 Hz, then yes. Otherwise this transformer will overheat when connected at the wrong frequency, and will burn out. You might be lucky and the power supply may be labelled to operate at 50 or 60Hz; if not, I recommend contacting the manufacturer. A voltage transformer will convert 50Hz 220 to 50Hz 110. To change frequency, you need special equipment.


Will a 115V 60Hz work in a 120V 60Hz power supply?

You don't mention what device, but the answer is probably NO. 50hz and 60hz signals will act differently in reactive components such as transformers, coils, capacitors, etc. Paulev is correct that it would act differently on inductive/reactive devices, especially transformers. The device to be discussed here is the transformer as it is most present in all electronic equipment. Based on theories, a 50Hz transformer will perfectly work on a 60Hz Power system but not vice versa. Assuming the transformer's specs are, P=1kVA, L=1H, R~0 ohm. At 50Hz the impedance will be Z=sqrt(Inductive Reactance=2 x Pi x 50 x L), thus the ampacity (Ip=sqrt(P/Z)) of the magnetic wire at the primary is 1.79A. Using the same steps at 60Hz. The current drawn by the the transformer will be 1.63A which is within the ampacity of the magnetic wire. therefore a 50Hz appliance can be used on a 60Hz supply without any problem.

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.


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.

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.
