Converting the voltage isn't a problem, but converting the frequency could require some additional support electronics.
To convert 220 volts to 110 volts, all you need is a transformer with a 220 volt primary and a 110 volt secondary.
To convert the frequency, you'd need to come up with either a frequency converter or design and build one.
There are a couple of methods
Depending on size of load and number of phases [either single phase, or 3 phase], you can install a vfd, and increase the frequency at the output terminals by 12%, which will give you 60 Hz.
Secondly, you can buy a mg set and supply 50hz to the driving motor, with a generator rated for 60 hz at the same speed [usually 1800 rpm], but this will be more costly than a vfd.
There are certain manufacturers that make Rotary Phase converters that may also be used for this purpose. Georator is one manufacturer that comes to mind.
In all instances, the Installation needs to comply with local and federal codes and standards. Be sure to install proper wire sizes and circuit protective devices, that meet all Code requirements.

For labratory or sensitive equipment use, you can use a POWER LINE CONDITIONER with an oscilator, or certain power line conditioners with programable functions. Elgar is a manufacturer I am familiar with.
A motor generator has been the traditional way, but today it is usually done electronically using circuits like those in a UPS, but without the storage battery.
Generally you step down the 220v o 110v through a transformer. However you end up with 110V at 50Hz which works with almost every 110v appliance, but if they use the current hertz for timing then an old alarm clock will not keep time.
On grid systems it is done by going via dc, which is complicated and expensive, for example between the two main islands of Japan.
Most equipment designed for 60 Hz also works well on 50 Hz and vice versa. But the supply voltage is important to match.
In order to convert 120 volts and 60 HZ to 220 volts and 50 HZ, you will need a voltage converter. The purpose of a voltage converter is to change the amount of electricity in another country.

A transformer is used to step down a voltage of 11kv to 220 volts. Given that the primary coil has 3200 turns what is the number of turns on the secondary coil?
Your 11 kv to 220 volts represents a 50 to 1 stepdown. (There is 50 times more voltage in the primary than in the secondary.) You'll have to have a 50 to 1 turns ratio. That means 1/50 of the number of turns in the primary will be in the secondary, and that is 64 turns.
What is the recommended maximum safe voltage for outdoor uses in Europe?
In Norway it is 230 Volts, 16-25 amp, 60 Hz, grounded In rest of Europe it is 110 Volts 10-15 amps, 50 Hz, probably grounded too.
How do you convert 220v 50 hz to 110 v?
Use a transforer. The same is possible with European 230 volts to European 120 volts. If that should be necessary. US 220 volt service is simply two 110 volt cables connected to the same outlet.
Is mains electricity the same in all countries or does it vary?
Voltage varies in different countries; usually the voltage is either 110 or 220 volt. It may even vary within a country; for example, most of Bolivia uses 220 V, but La Paz - the government seat - uses 110 V. Frequency may also vary, being 50 Hz. in some countries, and 60 Hz. in others.
What is the difference between a 47uf 50 v capacitor and a 47uf 25v capacitor for a tattoo machine?
A: It may tattoo your face when it blow up if the 25 volts is used where a 50 volts should be, you may substitute 47 mfd 500 volts for the 50volts cap and the 25 volts cap But you cannot substitute 15 volts for the 25 volts capacitor
Would 220 volts 60 hz appliances work on 110 volts 50 hz and vice versa?
No it would not.
Is the voltage in Dubai 220 volts or 110 volts?
Dubai uses 220 VAC at 50 Hz (in the USA, we use 120 VAC at 60 Hz). They also use the G type plug.
What is 50 plus 60 plus 50 plus 60 equals?
50+50+60+60= 220 60+50=110 +60+50=110=220
What percent of 220 is 110?
50%
What is 110 percent of 50?
110 is what percent of 50:= 110 / 50= 2.2Converting decimal to a percentage: 2.2 * 100 = 220%
Is china on 50 cycle the same as peru?
China is 220 volts at 50 Hz.
What is European voltage?
European voltage is 220 volts at 50 HRz.
Can you power a 220 volt clock from a 110 volt panel?
When the manufacturer specifies a specific voltage to operate their equipment, that is the voltage that has to be utilized. If you transform the 110 volts from the panel to 220 volts then you are adhering to the manufactures specifications and the device will work. The thing to watch with clocks is the frequency of the clock motor. Clocks are frequency sensitive and if you operate a 50 Hz clock on 60 Hz the clock will not keep accurate time.
How many amps in 50 watts at 110 volts?
To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. So, for 50 watts at 110 volts: Amps = 50 watts / 110 volts = 0.45 amps.
If you buy a Ps3 from the US will its voltage be compatible with Egypt?
Electricity in Egypt is 220 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to Egypt with a device that does not accept 220 Volts at 50 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter.
What electrical voltages are used in Bangladesh?
The main voltage is 220 volts at 50 Hz.
Can you use your 50 hertz in the Philippines?
No, the Philippines uses 220 volts at 60 Hz.
