== An electrical engineer would not recommend you to try to use in Europe such a high voltage piece of equipment that was designed for use in the US. One reason is that, if the machine uses an electric motor, the lower frequency of the mains supply in Europe, 50 Hz (50 cycles per second), may make the motor run too slowly compared to the speed it was designed to run at in the US, where the mains frequency is 60 Hz. The answer given below mentions an "adapter" but such things are only appropriate for use with low energy appliances such as chargers for cellphones, shavers/razors, etc. Small adapters are fine to use to convert the mains supply from 120 volts to 230 volts, or vice versa, at relatively low levels of power. Something which runs at 460 volts is not at all the same kind of application! In an area where the mains supply is delivered at 50 Hz it is much safer only to use equipment which has been designed to run on 50 Hz. OK, maybe you could use a transformer to increase the voltage but it would not be good practice to do so. Indeed, such a transformer, which should only be used if safely housed in a protective casing, might cost as much to buy - new or secondhand - as a machine that has been correctly designed to do the job using the standard European mains voltage and frequency. == Maybe you should get a different type of adapter. There are adapters available which increase or decrease the voltage respectively as conventionally used by you all in Europe.
What else can I help you with?
Can you use the 220v 50hz appliances in 110v 60hz?
Depends. Some smaller stuff can usually run on both, in which case it will be printed on them. If it isn't, you can't run a 220v item on 110v.
Can you use 230V 50Hz AV reciver to a 220V 60Hz?
Yes, you can use a 230V 50Hz AV receiver in a 220V 60Hz electrical system. The small difference in voltage and frequency should not cause any significant issues or damage to the AV receiver. However, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations or consult with a professional to ensure compatibility.
Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?
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.
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.
Is there anyway to get 220V 60hz from a 110V 50hz power supply?
It would involve some electronics work but it could be done. Might add that it could be more expensive than just buying the proper power supply. Use Use 220V 60hz motor to run 110V 50hz Generator.
How can you convert a 220v 50hz generator to a 220v 60hz?
you can't
Can you plug kettle 220V 50hz into 220V 60hz outlets?
Yes, no problem.
What has to be done to connect 220v 50Hz refrigerator to 220v 60Hz power supply?
nothing
Will a 230V 50Hz drain pump of a washing machine work on a 220V 60Hz?
No! Normally not, the recistance in the windings is to hig on 60Hz and the pump motor has not power enough to work propelly. This happened to myself when I connected my Whirpool AWE 7519 to 230V 60Hz. Europian model for 50Hz.
Will a 220v 50hz inverter work on 120v 60hz?
No, 120 v is not enough.
Can 220v 50hz CPU computer run 220 60hz power supply?
No
Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?
Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.
Can you use a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia?
Yes, using a 220v-60hz microwave in Australia is fine. The voltage of alternating current supplied to homes in Australia is 220v. The frequency of the voltage is 50hz.
Will a 220v 50hz cordless phone work in 220v 60hz?
More than likely yes it will work just fine.
Would saudi 220v 60hz appliance work on malaysia 240v 50hz?
yes.
Is 50Hz to 110V as 60Hz is to 220V?
No. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions shown below.
Can you run a 220v 60Hz machine on 240v 50Hz supply?
Yes, it may be possible but it is not recommended. The difference in frequency can affect the operation of the machine and potentially damage it. It is best to use the machine with the specified voltage and frequency to ensure optimal performance and safety.
