No it will not run
A generator's frequency is dictated by the power system frequency, and the number of poles in the generator. For 60 Hz power and a generator designed with two poles, the generator must turn at 3600RMPs (60 Hz * 60 seconds / minute). The magnetic flux is what induces the current in on the output winding. Spinning a synchronous generator faster or slower is not done to control the magnetic flux. The field winding voltage is varied to control this, and in turn control the output of the generator.
Try running the generator at lower rpm by adjusting engine speed. If 120v 60hz generator is designed for 1200 rpm, then try running it at 1000 rpm.
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.
Assuming that you are referring to a piece of equipment designed for 60-hz power being connected to a 50-hz power line (common overseas), It depends on the application. If the load is a DC power supply, they are often rated for both 50 and 60 hz. If the load is a motor made for 60 hz, for example, it will run about 17% slower at 50 hz than at 60 hz due to the design of induction motors, and at higher current because of lower inductive reactance. If the load is fluorescent lighting, it may display an annoying flicker, and the ballasts will probably die an early death. If the load is transformer-powered, you'll have the same current problems as you get with the motor. OTOH, if you want to connect a 50-hz load to a 60-hz supply, it has its own issues. E.g., the motor will run faster and cannot be loaded as heavily. Best bet: research to see if the piece of equipment is rated for both frequencies.
Frequency is the speed that the generator revolves, not the sizing of the generator.
There is no inherent disadvantage of 50 Hz compared with 60 Hz, bearing in mind that systems that run at 50 Hz are designed to run at 50 Hz.

Can I run 480 volt , 60 HZ motor at a 380 volt , 60 Hz system?
Yes !
motor will run at a faster rate.....

Yes, but the drill will run slower.
Try running the generator at lower rpm by adjusting engine speed. If 120v 60hz generator is designed for 1200 rpm, then try running it at 1000 rpm.
As clock motors are synchronous in design for a particular frequency, the 60 Hz clock will run slower on 50 Hz.
If 50 hz is applied instead of 60 Hz, the speed of the motor will reduce by 10 hz equivalent. If you still want to keep the output speed equivalent to 60 Hz, you will have to use suitable gear box or so, to increase the speed to 60 hz equivalent.
The standard electrical supply in the US is 120 V, 60 Hz. Some major appliances use 240 V, 60 Hz.
