There's no problem except that the transformer will be more massive than necessary. It will work at the same voltage and current, but there is less iron loss, so the voltage rating can be increased by a maximum of 15-20% and the current rating can be increased by 15-20% also.
But if this is in an aircraft or other safety-critical application, do not overrate the transformer.

Frequency of AC?
In Europe and in northern Japan 50 hz is used. The US has a 60hz system for its' power grid.
What is the US calculation of 110V 60hz?
Do you mean definition? If so 110V = 110 volts-60hz = 60 hertz. Hertz is the cycles that the electricity runs at. 60hz. is the US standard. Europe is at 50hz.
Can you wire your home with both 120v 60Hz and 230v 50Hz electricity?
No, these are two different distribution systems. The North American system uses 60 Hz and the European system uses 50 Hz.
What is the 5th harmonic of 60hz?
1920
Can you run a 460v 60hz motor to a 400v supply?
yes can run but motor only delivers 90%rated power because v/f less by 10%
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.
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.
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.
What formula would be used to convert at current transformer rating at 60Hz to 25Hz?
I don't understand your question. Are you asking how to convert from 60hz to 25hz using a transformer? That cannot be done. Frequency in = frequency out.
Can a 60Hz transformer be operated on a 50Hz system What actions are necessary to enable this operation?
Only issue would be the losses. Iron losses will be largly affected
I have a 1960 vintage Juke Box that runs on European 220v 50Hz power. Is there a device I can purchase that will convert US 110v 60Hz power to run this machine?
Yes, purchase a step-down transformer.
Can 60hz transformer be operated at 50hz how?
As per transformer equation,E=4.44 * freq * flux * Turns.So E/ freq =Flux. So when a transformer is designed for 60Hz ,it CANNOT be operated at 50Hz and if operated may create heating effects and core saturation etc. Because E/60< E/50. However the converse condition is true i.e. a 50 HZ transformer can be used for 60Hz application Because E/50>E/60
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.
Why 400 Hz in Naval and Air applications?
At 400Hz all electrical equipment like alternators, transformers and electric motors become smaller to supply the same power than 50 or 60Hz equipment, they are using Bosh 90 amp auto alternators same size as BMW and Mercedes with some internal modifications that is capable of up to 8.4 Kw and 70 Volt 3 phase that is then inverted to 220 Volt with a transformer
Can a transformer that operates on 60hz also operate on 50hz?
Yes, but it may generate more harmonics
How do you connect a 115VAC 60Hz 10W cooling fan to a normal home outlet?
you need a transformer
How do you convert 120VAC 60Hz to 208 230 1 Phase?
you need a step up transformer
