Convert 60Hz 110V (120V) to 50Hz 220V (230V, 240V)
Converters
Single Phase Converter Basic knowledge about 50Hz, 60Hz power supply
Alternating Current (AC) is changing the direction of the current periodically; Cycle is the time of a cyclical change of

the current; Frequency is the times of the current changes per second, unit Hertz (Hz). AC current direction changes 50
Contact us or 60 cycles per second, in accordance with 100 or 120 changes per second, then the frequency is 50Hz or 60Hz.
By using GoHz solid state frequency converter, you can easily convert 110V (120V) 60Hz to 220V (230V, 240V) 50Hz
in one step by inner step up transformer, also you can change single phase to three phase at the same time.
Now the question is, do you NEED to convert the frequency. It depends on your application.
First of all, 240 volts is available in most buildings in the US. A special circuit is run to the breaker box of a standard 120/240
volt electrical service, a different outlet is put on the end of the circuit, and you have 240 volts.
- Most lighting systems work quite well on either frequency. Those that do not have transformers in them that overheat on
lower frequency 50 Hz power.
- Series-wound brush motors don't care what frequency the power line runs at, because the timing of the brushes and
commutator determine the rotation speed, not the line frequency. They will even work on DC.
- Induction and synchronous motors do present a problem, because they will run at different speeds when given different line
frequencies. If the design is robust (or made for 50/60 Hz operation), it won't hurt the motor - only the speed is wrong. So in a
robust electric fan, you might not notice much of a difference.
- Drive motors for many record players, electric clocks, tape recorders, tone-wheel organs, and other such devices will cause
the devices to run at the wrong speed. It will change the operating speed and the pitch of any music.
- Most electronic devices work quite well on either frequency. Those that do not have transformers in them that overheat on
lower frequency 50 Hz power.
- Most dimmers are tuned to the frequency of the country where they are sold. They may malfunction on a different line
frequency.
This is a very nice information about something I am trying to solve and it does prove I do need to find a solution.
I need to find a economical solution to convert 115VAC/60Hz to 220(230)VAC/50Hz at a max. of 100 Watt.Single phase.
Does a device as I am looking for exist?
Thanks
Hi i have a lot power tool (like milter saw, table saw,...) and i moving to Italy where is 220 V 50hz. Can i carry with me and
buy a transformer or not?
Hi there.

To Antonio,
A 110V motor should be a single phase device. Assuming this is correct it is likely that the motor also uses a start switch and
capacitors. Either way I would not suggest using a variable frequency drive. I think simply using a 220V/110V transformer
rated for 50 Hz would be sufficient. The saw will suffer a both decrease in speed and in HP of about 15% but should otherwise
run. The capacitors are generally rated for 50Hz/60Hz so it should be fine. Otherwise, replacement of the saw would be the
best option.
Hello
I need to know if the Is it the available voltage (220V/50Hz 1ph - 220V/60hz 1ph)works in US.
Please help
Thanks,
Hibo
Please tell me if there is 'an easy' way to convert/run a 120V 60Hz appliance on a 230V 50Hz system? I want to ship a small
residential furnace from the USA to the Middle East. It has 2 motors (3/4hp and 1/4hp) and lots of electronics (that run on DC
low voltage, I believe).
What are my best options??
Thanks, Joe
Hello
5000 Watts 220/240 VAC 50 Hz COOKTOP INDUCTION STOVE can works in 240 VAC 60 Hz system?
