I got the answer in a site in the reverse way. I think we can use it to infer and calculate the ratio for using 60Hz equipment at 400Hz. Running a piece of 400 Hz equipment on a 60 Hz electrical system is not advised since it will damage the device. If the same voltage is supplied to the 400 Hz device as to a 60 Hz item, it will cause the metal in the 400 Hz unit to overheat. The end result will almost surely be smoke and possibly a fire. This problem can usually be avoided, however, simply by reducing the voltage supplied to the device by a ratio of 60/400, or 0.15. A reduction in voltage to 15% of its original value at the same current will allow most 400 Hz devices to operate safely on a 60 Hz electrical system.
Yes, you can use a 60Hz variac in a 50 Hz outlet. However, since the frequency is less, the current and power dissipation will be greater, making the efficiency less. It will not carry its rated load.
To adapt a 400 V 3-phase 50 Hz equipment to a US power system, which typically operates at 480 V and 60 Hz, you would need a step-down transformer to convert 480 V to 400 V. Additionally, a frequency converter is necessary to adjust the frequency from 60 Hz to 50 Hz, as the equipment is designed for a different operating frequency. Ensure that the transformer and frequency converter are appropriately rated for the equipment's power requirements to avoid damage. Finally, consult with an electrical engineer to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards.
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.
What effect will be there on the motor (Induction) output power when a 100kW 50hz motor is connected to a 60hz power supply.
If you have the motor rewound you could possibly have it changed. You can run some 50 hz motors on a 60 hz system but there are no guarantees. The motor will run faster and there is a chance it will overheat. There is no way to change the field connections of a motor to accomplish this. Best bet is to just purchase the correct motor.
If the load is non inductive and straight resistive then there is no problem. Inductive loads like motors, a 60 Hz device can be used on 50 Hz but it is much harder on the equipment if 50 Hz is used on a 60 Hz system.
Yes, you can use a 60Hz variac in a 50 Hz outlet. However, since the frequency is less, the current and power dissipation will be greater, making the efficiency less. It will not carry its rated load.
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.
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.
There really isn't that much of an advantage. Since many countries work with both frequencies, many appliances, especially computers, have the option to run at 50Hz or 60Hz. You will know this because in the back of the unit where the power supply is located, there will be a switch that allows you to change from 50Hz to 60Hz.If you have any type of equipment that does not provide the option to change frequenies, but the equipment was made recently (in the last year), you can safely run it at either frequency. If your equipment is older, you may want to contact the manufacturer to see if they have any special transformer or electronic device that can be connected with the electronic equipment to allow for such a difference in frequency.The only real difference you may experience with certain appliances that run two-phase or three-phase motors is extra heat buildup while running at 60Hz.
If electricity has a frequency of 60Hz, it means that the current changes direction 60 times per second. This is the standard frequency for power supply in North America. The frequency of electricity is important in determining the performance of electrical equipment and appliances.
Yes, but it will run a bit slower and warmer that the nameplate rating due to the 50 Hz grid in the Philippines
hz or more correctly Hz is a unit of frequency meaning cycles per secondhtz is a common misspelling of Hz
Philippines follows 60 hz.

A standard 60 Hz TV cannot be increased to 120 or 240 Hz due to limitations with the equipment. These higher refresh rate televisions are specifically built this way from the factory and offer no upgrade options for older models.
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.
