As long as they're the same voltage, yes it will, but probably not for long. A lot depends on what type of appliance you're using. For instance, if it's an electric stove, you'd probably be OK, but if it has a clock, expect it to run slow. And even that too, dependfs on what type of electric stove it is. The problem is that at the lower frequency, the device has to draw more power in able to do the same amount of work that it would at 60 Hz. Because of that, some motors, electronically controlled devices and the like, tend to overheat as a result. For a window fan, it's probably no big problem (although I'd keep an eye on it until I knew for sure) but for something that's `frequency dependent', like a refrigerator compressor, I'd think you'd just be asking for problems. Usually during the day, voltages and frequency of the U.S. system varies in both frequency and voltage. A `brown-out' usually happens when the voltage falls below 80 volts, as compared to the nominal 117 volts. But too, so does the frequency. Tis is mainly because of industrial usage during the day, along with air conditioners and the like. Late at night though, it's usually closest to where it's supposed to be. Does it work? Will it work? Yes. The question is: For how long.

∙ 13y agoYes. Motors found in drills, food mixers, vacuum cleaners etc will not be affected significantly by the higher frequency.
No. 50 Hz synchronous motors, usually found in 220V clocks will run 20% too fast on a 60Hz supply. Similarly a 60 Hz motor will run too slowly on a 50 Hz supply.

∙ 15y agoYes and No .......... a nice info site for 60 to 50 ..... go to ... http://www.kropla.com/frequency.htm
Nice explanation but does not mention going the other way

What does filter do in a transformer?
A transformer does not use a filter. You may be asking about the use of a filter in a power supply. A power supply uses a filter to change pulsating DC from the rectifier into smooth DC for the circuits that the power supply powers.
Can you use a 270 watt in a 300 watt transformer?
If you mean how to use a resistance of so much power then it can be easily done through a step-down transformer which lowers the voltage supply and hence the power.
What do transformer coil have to do with the way the transformer control voltage in alternating current?
Transformer coils are normally used to step down power from high power lines to a power you can actually use in your house. This works through the ratio of windings on a coil to the windings on the output side.
Can you use a transformer to convert modified sine wave to pure sine wave?
we cannot use transformer because transformer cannot change frequency . . .
What is the relationship between an induction motor and transformer?
In an induction motor, power is supplied to the rotor using a changing magnetic flux i.e. without any true conductive contact. Similarly, in a transformer, the power is transferred from the primary coil to the secondry one using a varying magnetic flux and the plates have no physical linkage. Hence, the similarity between an induction motor and a transformer is very basic i.e. they both use the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction to transfer power from one part to another.
What does the power rating of a transformer imply?
Knowing the power rating of a transformer will help an operator use the transformer within its design limitations with regard to heating of the windings and their insulation.
Can a a electric substation in a city use transformers to increase the power output?
No! A transformer changes voltage levels, not power levels. In fact, the output power of a transformer is actually a little lower than its input power, due to the efficiency of a transformer.
How do you use distribution transformer as temporary power supply to residential housing?
A distribution transformer IS the term used to describe the utility transformer which supplies a residence.
What does filter do in a transformer?
A transformer does not use a filter. You may be asking about the use of a filter in a power supply. A power supply uses a filter to change pulsating DC from the rectifier into smooth DC for the circuits that the power supply powers.
Can a teaser transformer can be use as 3 phase power supply?
yes
Can you use transformer in place of amplifier?
A transformer is a passive device while an amplifier is an active device. a transformer can amplify voltage but never power WHILE AN AMPLIFIER CAN amplify power's can you use it sure withing the limitation of the transformer and only to amplify volts.
Can you use a 270 watt in a 300 watt transformer?
If you mean how to use a resistance of so much power then it can be easily done through a step-down transformer which lowers the voltage supply and hence the power.
State three reasons for the widespread use of transformer?
The three main reasons for the widespread use of transformer are power outage, more power supply and sustainability among consumers. This is what has made the transformers to be much appreciated.
What do transformer coil have to do with the way the transformer control voltage in alternating current?
Transformer coils are normally used to step down power from high power lines to a power you can actually use in your house. This works through the ratio of windings on a coil to the windings on the output side.
What is the purpose of a transformer?
It steps down voltage by moving the iron core spacing. Mostly using on high current welding transformer. Easy to achieve changing output voltageand does not need to use high power selector to switch voltage
What is the use of transformer utilisation factor?
It tells us how much is the transformer utilised in a given process. For a rectifier,TUF =(D.c.power delivered to the load)/(power rating of transformer secondary)
Can you use a step down transformer as a step up transformer by reversing the primary voltage as a secondary?
Theoretically, yes; practically, no, as you won't have the power ratio to energize the primary with the same power as originally designed without a much larger than usual transformer and much larger than usual secondary power.
