What will happen if 50 Hz equipment connected to 60 Hz?

Answer 1

If you connect 50 Hz current , it may signal to 60 Hz sub-woofer than nothing will happen your sound system will play simply. but mind the amplitude or voltage of applied signal. if you increase voltage which is far then the range than your system may damage.

Answer 2

It will be exposed to 20% more stress because the current alternates 20% faster. The appliance's lifetime will be reduced.

Answer

The frequency of the supply does not 'cause stress' to a circuit, and it does not necessarily shorten the lifespan of the appliance! In fact, most electrical loads will be unaffected by this increase in frequency; many devices, such as mobile phone and laptop computer chargers are designed to operate over at both frequencies. Heating loads will be unaffected. Motors may be affected -depending on the type of motor, their speed may increase. Appliances, such as stoves, with LED time displays may have their time displays speed up and become completely inaccurate.

Answer 3

It depends on what the device is. If it is a resistive load then it would act normally. If it was a motor load it would not act as the manufacturer specified it would. The one part that might be a problem is the plug (cap) configuration. European pin configurations are different from those using North American configurations. So to answer the question, nothing would happen because you wouldn't be able to plug a 220 volt 50 Hz device into a 220 volt 60 Hz receptacle.

Answer 4

If the Voltage is the same a 50 Hz motor it will run 20% faster on 60Hz. Make sure the Voltage is the same first. Running a motor on half Voltage will cause it to overheat and fail.

Answer 5

It rotates at lower speed than design speed
