It will work ok. The iron's heating element is predominately resistive in order to produce heat. If the heating element is coiled, it will have a small inductive reactance which acts similar to a resistance to current flow but does not contribute to heating. At a higher a.c. frequency (60 Hz instead of 50 Hz) it will have a slightly higher inductive reactance and, therefore, a slight reduction in heat production.

What will happen if you use a 220 240 VAc 50Hz iron to 220 240 AC 60Hz?

It should work with no problems, since the frequency does not affect the work or the iron heater.

No, 120 v is not enough.


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 an American iMac work in Europe?

iMacs can operate on a power supply ranging between 100-240V AC (50Hz to 60Hz, single phase frequency) which means they will work in most countries. An adapter may be required to connect to the local power supply.

More than likely yes it will work just fine.


Do Indian electrical devices work in US?

No India uses 240V at 50Hz the U.S. uses 110V at 60Hz.


Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?

Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.


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.


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.


Would 120 volts 60Hz power tools work on 220 volts 50Hz?

No, the extra voltage will burn them out very quickly !
