Can motor be adapted to Australian 240v 50Hz power?

You can always rewind the coils of the motor or get a transformer. A 60 Hz motor works on 50 Hz not the other way around. Keep in mind the rpm will be less by +/- 15%

No idea. Its a standard 220 VAC 2hp motor. I would suggest you ask your electricians out there if they can do it. Worst case scenario, you could buy a 2hp motor in your country and replace. Trouble with this lathe is, if you ever have anything internal break on it...they offer no means to get replacement parts to assist repair. In essence, you are stuck with a rather large and heavy paperweight that you cant do anything with. I made the mistake of buying one of these and had a gear break internally. I was polishing a rod of stainless with it when it happened, not working it heavy. Anyway, cant get replacement parts. After a year of fighting with them to get a replacement part, I gave up and bought a Jet lathe. I will never buy Central Machinery again. BAD IDEA IF YOU DO!!!!!

Yes it will... the AC power chord is removable so you can replace it with one that suits... I assume you are from Australia with 240v (I am too).

Hello Jonathan, 660 model (and all Vornado models) motor has been re-worked for Australian Consumers. Do NOT buy the 120V model if you are using it in Australia. The 120V model only works for a couple of hours in Australia before the motor blows. This model is available in Australia. Please go to www.vornado.com.au and search the where to buy section. It may be a bit more expensive however, it worth spending a bit more than flushing $74.99 down the drain. Hope this helps.

I am also wanting to use this product in Australia and wondered if the cleaner will work on 240V?

Direct answer: NO. A 240/220 volt to 120/110 volt stepdown transformer is required. 50 cycle supply is not a problem.

My guess is no. But, I'm pretty sure you can find a 240v model for use in UK or Aust. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer. I bought one about 7 months ago and was able to replace a faulty motion sensor switch without running new wires. Thus was the perfect solution. Good luck mate,

its a 115V 60Hz 15W with an US 3 prong plug. Australia has a different plug and 230V 50Hz. Ans., NO even with a plug adapter, it would burn out.

In the spec sheet it says it will work with 240v, you will probably just need the correct power cord or adapter. They also sometimes times have a small switch you might have to move from 120 to 240 http://m.benq.com/product/projector/MX505/specs/

My experience from working overseas is that seeking a converter AC110-120V 50Hz to AC220-240V 50Hz

I suppose you should be able to, if your power supply outlet happens to be 110V/60Hz. Else you may have to buy the 240V/50Hz version from Amazon.com (if available) or from Amazon in UK. A way around it is to have a voltage converted.

Yes,it worked in the U.K. Fine with 240 volts, so you will just need an Australian plug adapter for their socket fitting.

I know that my Pioneer DV-610 AV-K will play Australian dvds. I love the comedy tv series The Games, it makes me laugh till I'm in pain. The owner's manual for the 610 says that it will work on 240 volt 50 hertz electricity, which is what WikiAnswers says comes out of the wall in Australia (give or take a few volts, which isn't important). So my guess would be yes, all you need would be an adapter plug or power cord that plugs into your wall socket. Do you own a fire extinguisher? Just kidding. Mostly. But you want more than a guess. Go to 220-Electronics or World-Import (both dot com) for their email address(es). Either store will know for sure. Good luck.

The nameplate rating says 120V ~60Hz - 175W. The motor is a brush-type universal motor, similar to those used in electric drills, so it should work on DC and AC frequencies in the 45Hz to 65Hz range, and possibly at a voltage as low as 100V, albeit with reduced speed and power. It will not survive much over 130V AC, so if you plan to use it in areas with 220-240V AC power, plan on using a 240V to 120V transformer or converter.

I'm not sure about an adapter but as with most electronics you will need the voltage converter. Because of the price of this dryer it may be cheaper to just buy a new dryer while in Australia.

Australia uses 240 volt 50 hertz. This model is 120 volt. I can call Kitchen Aid in Ohio to see if they sell them prewired for Australian use.

I have a 515 unit in hand and on the back it indicates the accepted input voltage to be 100v to 240v AC, 50-60 Hz. So, to answer your question, it is not specifically a 240v unit, it's a "universal" type in that it accepts US standard voltages and European (240v 50hz, similar). If you have any concerns you should call TASMAN directly (go to their website www.tascan.com) or call them at 323-726-0303.

A 240V outlet may be too much power for the motor to handle it may burn the motor or cause a fire. It's best to buy a converter that will reduce it to a 120V just to be safe. Hope this helps. Nancy
