A transformer that operates on 50hz can also operate on 60hz.
It'll operate on any AC frequency.
BUT you risk under exciting the core; you should attempt to keep the volts/hertz constant. So if it is designed to run on X volts at 50 Hz, you should apply 1.2 *X volts to it.
Another AnswerThe general rule is that you can operate a transformer at a higher frequency than its design frequency, but not at a lower frequency.

∙ 12y agoAre you asking whether a 400-V three-phase load can run from a 415-V three-phase supply? If so, then the answer is yes. In the UK, 400/230 V (+10%/-6%) three-phase nominal voltages has replaced the original 415/240-V (+/-6%), three-phase, nominal voltages, for the purpose of European harmonisation. The load will operate quite normally because the load's nominal voltage (400 V) falls within the allowable lower limit (390 V) for the older voltage standard.

∙ 14y agoYes you can use a 50 hz transformer on a 60 hz mains. But not the other way around since the 60 hz transformer will overheat when used on a 50 hz mains.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, there is no problem using a transformer specified for 230V-50Hz with a voltage of 220V-60Hz. Transformers in this range of voltage are designed for 220 to 240V and 50 to 60Hz.

∙ 14y agoYes, but will probably be less efficient because the transformer construction is optimized for the rated frequency.

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
60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
What type of transformer is required to use USA 120V 60Hz make Crock pot in India where the electricity supply is 220V 50Hz?
You will need to use a step down transformer. If an amperage or wattage of the crock pot had been stated, the transformer could have been sized as to what you need. Because the crock pot is a resistive only device the difference in HZ is negligible.
Will a 220V 60Hz Air-conditioner run safely at 230V 50Hz?
Not really because motors are designed to run at either 50 or 60 Hz and the wrong frequency might cause them to malfunction or overheat.
Will a 120V 60Hz refrigerator operate properly with 120V 50Hz electrical supply?
Answer Possibly. The device will not be harmed, but the fan motors and compressor will run slower making it operate below its intended levels. It will not work as wekk on 50hz as it did on 60hz, but it should work. If it has a ice maker with a motorized timer, that will not work correctly. The timer will turn at a different speed altering the timing.Another AnswerI ran my Canadian 120-V / 60-Hz fridge-freezer for years in the UK, using a 230:120-V transformer at 50 Hz.
Can a transformer that operates on 60hz also operate on 50hz?
Yes, but it may generate more harmonics
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.
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.
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
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
What will happen when you operate a 50Hz fan on a 60Hz supply?
The fan will physically get warmer and the blade speed will increase.

Is majora's mask Pal in 60Hz?
No 50Hz
What is the effect of connecting a 50 hertz instrument transformer to a 60 hertz line?
the 50Hz things have a bit more iron and copper will run a bit cooler at 60hz
What is the difference between 50Hz and 60Hz?
10HZ. Enjoi!
60Hz has higher power than 50Hz?
yes
If transformer current 250 amp at 60Hz what will be its current at 50Hz?
Current = voltage x resistance. Therefore the current will be the same, assuming both frequencies are the same input voltage.
