How do you convert 220V 60 Hz to 220V 50 Hz?

Answer 1

well first off, the electronics in the tv rely on the 50 hz signal to get the clock going right to show the picture, so you'll have to get some sort of power converter, then the tv will only accept PAL signals. So as far as watching broadcasts, it wont recognize NTSC which is used in the US. so if you have a PAL DVD player or something you can watch that, but anything you plug into the TV must be PAL.

Answer 2

You could a mixer, with the local oscillator set at 10 hz, and by sending the 60 hz current through the mixer, you will have 70 hz, 50 hz, 60 hz and 10 hz current coming out from the mixer. Use a filter, set it to 50 hz. There you have it, 220Volts at 50hz.

Converting a 60 Hz power supply to 50 Hz is normally done by a rotary converer, which could be two synchronous machines back to back with a 5:4 gearbox in between. For low-power applications the same job can be done by electronic circuits designed for the purpose.

Answer 3

There are a number of converters that can be used to change power supplies between 100V and 230V. They are available from electronics suppliers on line or in store but they are not common items. It might take some looking to track one down.

The mains frequency is often not altered from the original power supply frequency. In almost all cases, this will not be a problem but if the application is important enough, it's worth contacting the manufacturer to confirm.

Before buying a converter, it's worth taking a look at the information panel on the equipment or power supply. Many items will accept any voltage input from 100V to 260V and at 50 or 60Hz. If so, all you will need is a mains travel adapter to convert the mains plug style to the local socket.

Finally, as with all electricity, if you aren't sure, seek expert advice before connecting anything.
