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

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.

Can New Zealand household electrical appliances be used in the US?

I believe that you can't use New Zealand household electric appliances in the US without adaptations. The residential voltage/Frequency (Hz) in New Zealand is 130V/50 Hz while in US it is 120V/60 Hz <<>> The voltage in New Zealand is 230 volt 50Hertz. The voltage in North America is 120/240 volts at 60 Hertz. A totally resistive appliance will operate fine on the 240 volt portion of the 120/240 volt system. Any appliances that have a motor to operate will not work as efficiently. A 50 Hertz motor on a 60 Hertz system will overheat and run slower. Many appliances use synchronous timer motors for control of the larger appliances. The timing of the appliance will be thrown off as the timers will run faster due to the appliances design to operate only on 50 Hertz.


What is the frequency of AC current in North America?

In North America 60 Hertz. Europe 50 Hertz.


Would it take longer to charge a battery on 50hz?

The same as charging at 60 hertz if you are in a county that runs at 50 hertz and have a charger that runs at 50 hertz.


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 speed will be obtained when converting a 500 RPM motor at 50 hertz to 60 hertz?

The speed at 60 Hz is 600 r.p.m.


Can you plug in a 50 Hertz tea pot in 60 Hertz outlet?

Being a resistive load it would work. The hard part of this procedure will be inserting a 50 Hertz plug into a 60 Hertz receptacle. The pin configurations of the two systems do not match each other.


What will happen to a motor which is designed for 50 or 60 cycle operation if it connected to 60 Hz?

60 cycles = 60 hertz


Is there a Measure to convert 60 hz into 50 hz?

There is nothing to convert. You are using the same unit of measurement. A hertz is a hertz, all you are dealing with is 10 less Hertz. 60 Hertz - 10 Hertz = 50 Hertz The difference is 10 Hertz. The math there is just to give you a clear example and illustrate my point. What you are asking for is similar to someone asking "how do you convert miles to miles" or "how do I convert inches to inches".
