Question 1

I have a turntable which works on 220V 50Hz, accelerating records.Will this produc convert the energy frequency to 50 hz so the tt can work properly ?

Accepted Answer

All voltage converters only convert the voltage and not the cycle; however, most appliances and electronics will function properly with them. You can refer to the user's manual or contact the manufacturer of your turntable to confirm if there are any problems associated from operating under a different Hz cycle.

Question 2

Does this transformer convert the frequency from 50Hz to 60Hz?

Accepted Answer

All voltage converters only convert the voltage and not the cycle; however, most appliances and electronics will function properly with them. There are no voltage converters on the market that convert the Hz cycle.  Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, printers, stereos, tape and CD players, VCR/DVD players, etc. will not be affected by the difference in cycles. However, appliances that use alternating current as a timing base such as analog clocks and timing circuits will keep incorrect time.

Question 3

I have a 220 volts outlet in the garage.  Will this unit bring the voltage back to 110 or 120 volts here in Oklahoma?

Accepted Answer

Yes absolutely. It is a reversible transformer, of excellent quality. It has a switch to choose if you want it from 220/240Vac to 110/120Vac or the other way around (in Oklahoma or wherever. The frequency is not a problem, at least for the transformer). If you use it up to 90% of the rated power, it will last you a lifetime.

Question 4

I want to buy a cd player from germany which is 230v, 50hz ,will this unit convert the voltage and frequency to 120v , 60hz

Accepted Answer

No. This will only transform the voltage not the frequency. It's just a step-down/step-up voltage transformer and not a frequency converter. Frequency converters are much more expensive devices.

For appliances that have motors,  such as AC and washing machines, the frequency should be specific. But for appliances that have no motors, such as TV, Refrigerators, etc, they can accept either frequency.
