    Ahhh but how do I tell if my equipment can handle by Hieraco2008-02-09 03:02:25
      IIRCC by Electric Storm 2008-02-09 03:16:01
The difference between 60Hz and 50Hz sghould not be a problem.
The core of the transformer will handle either fine.

Mind you I'm a USian at 60. The only issue I have at wrok is UV lamp systems that are made for 50 don't like running at 60. But they are special ballist lighting systems. And will damage the lamps if not at proper frequency.

If in doubt, I'd suggest replacing the line fuses with a sligtly smaller value ( i.e. 2 amp replacing 2.5 amp ) .
If it drws too much it will blow the fuse before any real damage.


I'd try to raise romandas as he surely would be familar as he has stuff for 60 and is in the EU on 50 .
