In Reply to: Going abroad with my electronics. 120V@60hz-230V@50Hz. posted by Jess on October 22, 1999 at 08:48:22:
...Or you may not. It depends on several factors. Many products are made to suit ONLY 60Hz mains. When operated on 50Hz mains, the transformer may saturate. This may manifest itself by: Overheating, noisy tranformer laminations, hum in signals, or a combination of the above.Transformers which have 117V/230V primaries, generally, cope reasonably well with mains frequency variations, whilst those which are designed only for 117V operation MAY have problems.
High quality products are usually designed with good quality transformers and will usually be OK. Cheap products may or may not be. It would be best to contact the manufacturers of your equipment, for their opinions.
