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.

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
Does 110V 60Hz to 110V 50Hz affect the clock?
Yes it is because the motor which drives it uses the hertz frequency to regulate itself. You might find if you move from a 60 hertz area to 50 hertz area and use a stepdown transformer to make your typical 120 volt appliance working on 230 volt that in the same percentual rate the time changes, for the hertz rate that is, app 20 % longer.
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.
What is meant by antiflicker in campera 50hz and 60hz?
Antiflicker in cameras refers to a feature that reduces the appearance of flickering lights in photographs or videos. The numbers 50Hz and 60Hz refer to the frequency of alternating current used in different regions. Cameras with antiflicker capabilities can adjust their settings to match the frequency and minimize the impact of flickering lights caused by differences in electricity frequency.
Will a 220V 60Hz Air-conditioner run safely at 230V 50Hz?
It is generally not recommended to use a device designed for 220V 60Hz on 230V 50Hz, as the difference in frequency can affect the performance and efficiency of the air conditioner. It is best to consult the manufacturer or a professional electrician for guidance on compatibility and potential risks.
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!
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.
Will a 115V 60Hz work in a 120V 60Hz power supply?
You don't mention what device, but the answer is probably NO. 50hz and 60hz signals will act differently in reactive components such as transformers, coils, capacitors, etc. Paulev is correct that it would act differently on inductive/reactive devices, especially transformers. The device to be discussed here is the transformer as it is most present in all electronic equipment. Based on theories, a 50Hz transformer will perfectly work on a 60Hz Power system but not vice versa. Assuming the transformer's specs are, P=1kVA, L=1H, R~0 ohm. At 50Hz the impedance will be Z=sqrt(Inductive Reactance=2 x Pi x 50 x L), thus the ampacity (Ip=sqrt(P/Z)) of the magnetic wire at the primary is 1.79A. Using the same steps at 60Hz. The current drawn by the the transformer will be 1.63A which is within the ampacity of the magnetic wire. therefore a 50Hz appliance can be used on a 60Hz supply without any problem.
