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

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 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.


Can you pass 60Hz current to 50Hz transformer?

Yes that's fine provided the voltage is the same in both cases.But if a 60 Hz transformer is run on 50 Hz it might run slightly warmer than usual so it might need to be derated by 20% or so.CommentIt might be worth while pointing out that it's the voltage that needs to be derated by around 20% when a 60-Hz transformer is operated at 50 Hz.


How do you convert 50Hz to 60Hz Air Circuit Breaker?

You don't.


How does 50hz and 60hz differ from one another?

ONE THING FOR SURE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN VOLTAGE IF SAME EQUIPMENT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE ISSUE HERE IS THE CHANGING LOAD FREQUENCY 60HZ TO 50HZ OR VICE VERSA. FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR HORSEPOWER AND R.P.M. WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 90 AND 83 PERCENT OF THE NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS, ALSO THE FULL LOAD RUNNING TORQUE WILL INCREASE APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT IF USED FROM 60HZ TO 50HZ.

Only issue would be the losses. Iron losses will be largly affected


Can a transformer that operates on 60hz also operate on 50hz?

Yes, but it may generate more harmonics

Will a 220V 60Hz work on 220V 50Hz?

Yes no problem the transformer should run a little cooler as well.

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.
