To the people using this in North America, any long term negative effects of running this on 220/240 V 60 Hz instead of 50 Hz?

I bought it as a gift for use in EGYPT, and it is still here in USA ,I did not try it here.

first of all make sure you're connecting to 220/240 V , not 110 V. second part of the question: you need to ask this to an electrician, I bought it as a gift for use in Europe, and it works fine there

Most devices like this that are rated to the higher voltage are intended for use in the US, Asia, and Europe. There shouldn't be any problem.

bscepter is correct. From the Voodoo Lab PP2+ Manual, "Pedal Power units purchased in North America should only be powered from 120VAC. Attempting to use 220-240VAC mains directly will cause permanent damage to your Pedal Power! You must use an appropriate stepdown transformer." However, they do offer models with voltage appropriate to various regional markets, such as a 230V 50/60Hz model for Europe and Australia, as indicated here: http://www.voodoolab.com/pedalpower_2.htm (scroll down to the specs table)

It uses 110V & 60 Hz (which is standard for the USA). No for 220V, etc., however.

The voltage is not the biggest problem here. I've here cuz its a 60Hz model, if you use it in China (50Hz), it's not really efficient and doesnt give the best output.

The unit claims to have an internal universal power adapter capable of getting power input from 110-240v and 50-60hz enabling it to be used anywhere in the world. This infomation is in the instructions as well as printed directly on the back of the unit. I cannot answer for the 240/50 power but it does work just fine on 110/60 in America.

Absolutely John. I have used it in Germany, Australia and Japan without issues. (Don't forget to adjust the Hertz from 60 to 50 if need be for the TV. The power supply auto adjusts.)Greg

This model is a US 110 Volt Model for use in N America. It is not designed for or intended to be used on 220 Volt or other voltages, even with a transformer/inverter, as the voltage irregularity seen through these types of devices may impact the performance and longevity of the motor.

It is not a frequency converter; that would be at least half the size of your fridge and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Most 220/50hz appliances will run just fine on 60hz. I've been running a Liebherr freezer on this for almost a year, no issues. Barely gets warm, though there is only a couple amps being drawn.

Absolutely. The only differenze with US power would be the frequence (50 Hz in Europe, 60 Hz in the US) but nowadays almost no device would have a problem with that, so you're good.

Yes I'm using it in usa just make sure you use it with something that is 50 watt or less, otherwise it will burn out

The 50/60 hz wouldn't matter as it is just a heating element without a timer. However I don't think it would take 220v.

Not sure what you are asking. Why would you plug this into 220 in north America? if you are using devices that need 210-220 (50-60 hz) and you have a 220 source you don't need this. This device will give 220 when plugged into a 110-120 volt outlet. I bought one of these for some European friends visiting the states and it worked just fine.

As far as hz for US (standardized at 59-60 Hz) it's 120 Hz for UK and International most places are standardized at 50 Hz so I assume it would run at 100 Hz.

This is made in europe. A european version might run on 220 depending on the market it's designed for. I don't think that the North American one is rated for 220V.

My relative lives in Hong Kong and has been using a 600 series (120v) non-stop for 4 years with a heavy duty step down transformer - still running w no problems. She purchased and used the unit for two years in the US prior to moving overseas. That said, there are distributors located throughout Asia who carry the 220v units. However their list prices (in HK at least) were 40-60% more expensive than US sellers.

Hi I work for Northern Light Technologies. The light will work on 50-60Hz and 100-270V. All you need is an outlet adapter. Our sticker on the back of the unit is for CSA which is Canadian Standards so it does not show that it is good for 240V but YES it will work. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to call us 1-800-263-0066
