I have a ChiMaster from Australia. I need to convert it from 220V 50HZ to 110V 60HZ. The HZ part is important for speed. Will this product work?

The transformer will not convert the frequency (Hz) so not sure whether this will be a problem or not.
770791
Yes this transformer is very good to both system work 220v to 110 and 110 to 220.I am satisfied to this converter

I don't know about the "HZ". I only am familiar with Watts and Volts. The one I have is for 35 Watt appliances and it works just fine. I'm using it in Israel which has the 220 volt electricity. You just have to be sure you don't use it for appliances of more than 35 Watts.

Thank you for contacting CPO, a proud retailer of Powermatic products. Unfortunately, we do not have this unit available in the 240V 50Hz. Try calling the manufacturer directly to see if they even make one like that. Your question will be best answered by the manufacturer, who can more accurately provide technical support. Please call Powermatice directly at 800-274-6846. You can also reach them at www.powermatic.com.com Sincerely, CPO Customer Care 800-714-0918 www.CPOpowermatic.com

Drazen, you are correct. There is no change in frequency. There are no controls for or indications of frequency change. The placarding on the back says that input is 110-120 VAC/50-60 Hz or 220-240 VAC/50-60 Hz. Output is 110 VAC/50-60 Hz and 220 VAC/50-60 Hz. In other words, it comes out at the same frequency it goes in. By the way, my transformer came with a US-style plug. Input voltage is selectable, but I would have to provide an adapter to plug it into a European socket. It has dual 110V US-style and 220V European-style output sockets. As for the implications for power tools, I expect, based on general knowledge, that the tool would run at 5/6 speed (or 16% slower) if using 50 Hz power vice 60 Hz, but I'm no expert. I suppose, but doubt, that the motor itself could even be DC (with the voltage being rectified inside the tool before getting to the actual motor), in which case frequency wouldn't matter. I recommend asking customer service for your power tool manufacturer. Slower may not be a problem depending on your application (material and blade). I have seen nightstand clocks made for the US market run slower in Caribbean hotels due to the 50 Hz power.

I'd say no. It's 120v 60Hz. But you could try contacting the manufacturer or seller.

I can only answer on the unit I have (you will need to check the one you get) The power supply (part of the power plug) has written on it 120-240V 50/60 Hz. That means mine will work from 120 to 240v a/c at 50to 60 cycles per second (Hz) BUT.....The plug is not a UK/European plug and so an adapter will be required.I can say mine will work but you will have to check the power supply you receive with the unit. (You never know they may change the specifications so we have to buy a different power supply to use it overseas. That way we have to pay more.) G.F.H.

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%

The one I have is 110V 60hz where it made not sure. Works very well no matter, much better than using wire brush and putty knife and scraping. Be sure to use a mask it make lots of dust.

The model that I had Purchased working only in 120V AC 60Hz. So, it is NOT compatible with 220V

Obviously, it must be selected for 110V operation as 220v would burn it out rather dramatically. But 50 Hz is the frequency in Europe, 220V here in the US is still 60 Hz. In fact house power arrives as a 220V (60 Hz) circuit that is split into 2 x 110V lines (still 60 Hz) - there is no change in frequency. Secondly, there are only certain types of motors which are affected by frequency, ...these typically being so-called 'synchronous motors'. I've run saws from my generator all day - which uses a substantially square wave output (true sine wave generation is more expensive) - no problem. A power transformer by the way does not change the frequency - unless it is also a converter having batteries and active circuits for regenerating the sine wave output. I'm an electronic engineer by trade. Hope that helps.

This products is designedfor the US market, uses 110v to 120v and 60Hz. The 220 volt converter would be designed for 50Hz and would require different components inside the clipper to work efficiently.

The info listed doesn't say if it will work properly on 50Hz. The best would be to use a true RMS meter, or do some more research on Flukes's website.

It should work since all it changes the hz and v but why not get a step down converter. That's what they are for.. Your machine can probably run on 50 or 60hz. Where as US clippers needs 60hz to operate correctly.

No, it is only rated for 120V-60Hz. A step-down transformer would be required to use it at 220V. If the 220 volts is 50HZ that is probably not a problem.

The 220v comes in 50 and 60Hz I believe. I'm not sure as well since Amazon is not indicating these important details. Best to contact Amazon. (...) From answers below looks to be 50Hz. :)

My experience from working overseas is that seeking a converter AC110-120V 50Hz to AC220-240V 50Hz
1995265
This is a US machine so it is 110V. I would assume that you could get the 220V machine as well. As for the Hz i would guess it at 60Hz. I dont see it on the manual though. Sorry.
