50 "cycle" light bulb flickers 100 times in a second.
Stepping down the 110 volts to the 100 volts Japan uses may offset the 50 Hz heating effects on 60 Hz appliances. Having lived in Japan and running 60 Hz fans, spaceheaters, Dremel tools, radios, Lionel train sets, Mixmasters, vacuum cleaners, etc we never had problems with any of those items NOR with running Japanese 100 volt appliances on 60 Hz 110-120 volts.
220V to 100V step down transfomer sold in the Philippines, if the volage from 230v, the multimeter on 100V outlet reads 105V.
Does this mean that if I bring my plug in electric clock from the U S, I can stay in bed longer? hahahaha!
Jolyon Welsh Also AM/FM clock radio bought from TheSource in Canada, works fine on 50Hz. I compared to my watch and 60Hz clock radio on 50Hz and it runs normally.
@@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY I think the comment was supposed to be a joke but okay
@@ARUclipsChannelwithNoName yes it was a joke. But the nights are way too short as it is.
God explanation.
Changing from 50 Hz to 60 Hz although expensive but not as the other way around because 50 Hz transformers even runs cooler at 60 Hz so they don't have to be replace. Unlike 60 Hz transformer which tends to overheat at 50 Hz and needs to be replace. So it's more practical in the long run to change the frequency because most 110 Volts are design for 60 Hz.
bobskie321 need a US 12V DC to 120V 60Hz AC inverter 75 W and 100V - 240V AC to 12V DC 6A adapter.
bobskie321 Most Japanese appliances are both 50 and 60 Hz. Mostly Eastern part of Japan uses 50Hz at 100V.
just up the voltage and your fine
In the Philippines it's the opposite. We have European voltage with American Frequency (220 Volts 60 Hz) and sometimes I saw some appliances rated 230 Volts 50 Hz but they worked just fine. They said 50 Hz even run cooler at 60 Hz, which means 60 Hz run hotter at 50 Hz like in Jamaica.
bobskie321 Philippines same as South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Antigua Barbuda, Peru, parts of Brazil.
bobskie321 ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIPS USES 60Hz on 220V outlet (Euro).
hi po..can i use 50hz Inverter ref. in the Philippines..?thank you in advance.
I have a garage motor that I buy in Canada never was checking the cycle and when I come here is 60 sycle what can I. These anything sell in Jamaica that I could buy to make it work please am in dying need
Appliances containing only universal motors or resistive heating elements, such as hair dryers and blenders, this difference in frequency is negligible.This also includes modern LED bulbs.
You don't understand electricity
@@cool2180 Yes I know, the electrical trade is the be all and end all of the building trades. It has become a pissing match.
Here in Brazil is the opposite, we have in the majority of the country, european voltage of 220 volts, and frequency of 60 Hz as in america.
Rodrigo Maciel Same as the Philippines.
If they’re larges, consumer, will they receive stuff from is the US then I would change the grid. Don’t misunderstand the people you were not re-wiring Jamaica. You’re just changing out the generators. Also, you may have an issue with current with some equipment that is 60 Hz because the wiring is also too small. The minimum main breaker and wiring size by minimum in jamaica should be 100 A. And the wire from the service head outside to your main breaker in your panel should be rated for 100 A. I see a lot of 60 A breakers in Jamaica. That’s wrong.
Haveing a heavy duty industrial stereo PA amp from a former corporation tandy Electronics (also in America known as radio shack) Ishall be mocing soon from a 120V/670Hz environment to a 230V/50Hz environment (namely, eurtope). The power transgformer seems heavy in weight as that is most of the weight of the unit. I am hoping that I can change the transformer tap from 2 parallel windings (for the NASA standard of 120/60Hz to series that can taken in safely 24V/50Hz. The voltage is actually ten V less at 230 in Europe.
Problem is that of course that when Tandy Corporation bit the dust back in
always buy appliances with 50/60hz and 110/220V to prevent damages.
hz is the unit for frequency. in real life, there is danger when you're using with motor. motor with 50hz rating, will rotate faster if use in 60hz.
Adrian Symister I need to take a washer and dryer from the US to North Africa. Here in the US the Cycle is 60 hrz and North Africa is 50 hrs what do I need to make the dryer working knowing that the voltage of the dryer is the same 220 volts in both countries 30 amps
Buy a UK washer and Dryer and install a 220V outlet in Jamaca for that.
Hi I live in Barbados and I have a washing machine that refuses to work on the 50 cycle grid. I am looking for a solution
Ramy Fares Japanese washing machine has no problems by running at 50Hz.
Just use Japanese appliances in Jamaica and Barbados. Because Japanese appliances runs on 100V and multiple frequency between 50Hz and 60Hz.
how about a 50hz motor (equipment) to a 60hz supply? Whats the bad and good thing about it?
Felix Batican Runs faster but I purchased rice cooker and electric kettle from China (220V 50Hz) and bring it to the Philippines (230V 60Hz). No problems at all by operating those appliances.
Why doesn’t Jamaica increase its frequency to 60cps?
Jamaica have 220V 50Hz (UK outlet for high votage appliances).
@@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY some countries have 220-240 @ 60.
on paper they supply 220v but realistically they supply 240v. pole mount transformers are rated 240/120
Philippines has American frequency and Spanish/European Voltage.
True,60 hz and 220 volts.I bought a turntable from Singapore which uses 50hz and its causes the motor to run faster...now i have chipmunks singing all the time.
Al Dig adjust the motors...
get a wind generator..........and really mess things up. :)
HI, you need a transformer 115v to 100v and your problem is solved
for a refrigerator would you need a wattage of 1500 on the transformer?
Just change the house transformers to 230V with the 50Hz and you can easily import common appliances from Europe or most of Asia
london46 Philippines, Saudi Arabia and South Korea uses 220V at 60Hz and Eastern Japan uses 100V at 50Hz
@@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY Most appliances are made in East Asia and the 230V 50Hz variaty is the most common one beside the 120V 60Hz
london46 Also most appliances in the Philippines and South Korea uses 230V at 60Hz. Mostly like Standard and Kyowa appliances like oven toasters from the Philippines labelled 60Hz. Not 50Hz.
london46 ALL ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIPS uses 60Hz including 230V Europe outlets and 115V US outlets. WHEN I WAS at Windjammer buffet as they play some music, I heard some buzzing sound and it’s 60Hz (music note B).
