Yes, you can use a 60Hz variac in a 50 Hz outlet.
However, since the frequency is less, the current and power dissipation will be greater, making the efficiency less. It will not carry its rated load.
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
ONE THING FOR SURE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN VOLTAGE IF SAME EQUIPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE CHANGING LOAD FREQUENCY 60HZ TO 50HZ OR VICE VERSA. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR HORSEPOWER AND R.P.M. WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 90 AND 83 PERCENT OF THE NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS, ALSO THE FULL LOAD RUNNING TORQUE WILL INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT IF USED FROM 60HZ TO 50HZ.
I've seen it done, but be certain that the motor is connected to the correct VOLTAGE. The UK uses a 50Hz, 240V electrical system. The US uses a 60 Hz, 120/240V. The motor you are referring to was probably used in the UK, so will probably need 240V.
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.
Try running the generator at lower rpm by adjusting engine speed. If 120v 60hz generator is designed for 1200 rpm, then try running it at 1000 rpm.
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.
No, the compressor& fan will run too fast and will more than likely be damaged. It may not be damaged but I would not take a chance.
The average Canadian house uses 110-120V AC 50-60Hz electricity for small appliance outlets such as Televisions, small kitchen appliances and personal computers. Larger electrical appliances such as clothes dryers, and central Air Conditioning units may use 240V AC 50-60Hz circuits.
It is used in medical instruments to remove 50-60hz frequencies....
Philippines follows 60 hz.
Patagonia has over 50 outlets across the world. Many of their outlet stores are in the United States, in areas such as Utah, Nevada, Maine and more. Use their store locator to find the closest outlet.
Most likely, yes. Most devices has been manufactured with an idea that they will be used in areas where the supply power frequency is 50 or 60Hz.

A kitchen appliance that uses a 50 amp range plug requires a special type of electrical outlet called a NEMA 14-50 outlet.
The device requires a NEMA 6-50 outlet, which is a specific type of electrical outlet that can provide 240 volts and handle up to 50 amps of current.
To install a 50 amp RV outlet, you will need to first turn off the power to the area where you plan to install the outlet. Then, you will need to run a dedicated 50 amp circuit from your main electrical panel to the location of the outlet. Next, mount the outlet box securely to the wall or post, and connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the outlet. Finally, test the outlet to ensure it is working properly before using it to power your RV.
To properly wire a 50 amp RV outlet for your recreational vehicle, you should use a dedicated 50 amp circuit breaker in your electrical panel, run appropriate gauge wire (usually 6-gauge) from the panel to the outlet location, and connect the wires to the outlet following the manufacturer's instructions. It's important to ensure the wiring is done safely and in compliance with local electrical codes.
