Transformers run a bit hotter at 50 Hz than 60 Hz. Most transformers are OK with both. I would suggest you make sure whatever you use is rated for both. Bear in mind that some functions may look at AC frequency for synchronization (AC motor on a TT or certain microprocessor functions) so there may be other frequency-related issues further down the chain. Nothing I see that should be risky to your equipment, however. Good luck!
