Washers & Dryers and Power Frequency
Frequently Asked Question
Here are the questions when using a wash machines on the incorrect power frequency
Using LG Gas Range on 50Hz Electricity?
I recently bought a stove in Miami to use in the Caribbean, LG gas range, to be specific. The problem is the oven needs 60hz to be functional however, our system is 50 hz. I am looking for a device to use on the stove so that it receives the right electricity that it needs. The specs on the stove are 120 v 60Hz 8.3 Amp. My country is 240 v 50Hz.
The 1885 invention of the electrical transformer facilitated the conversion of one voltage to another but did not deal with the issue of frequency. However, as electrical devices have increased in complexity, the issue of frequency began to matter more and more. Ignoring the frequency difference can result in the device not operating as intended. Many are under the impression that it is just a clock that runs slower or a mixer that does not operate as fast.
Using LG Gas Range on 50Hz Electricity?
I am a military spouse who is in need of several kitchen appliances. I am a nutritionist and I am working on lightening up many different recipes and cultural favorites. I volunteer teach at our local USO teens to learn nutrition and cooking and we recently moved overseas. I received a few kitchen necessities before the move that have never been opened and are still in the box that I wont be able to use due to power conversions. I have step up converters, but even those have too low Hertz and will blow the motors within a year. So long story I have to get new equipment. I already replaced my crockpot and instant pot (one of the new in box items) and need to still replace my blender ( it was the new in box Oster pro 1200) and stand mixer (only 3 years old). I am wondering about your Kenmore elite stand mixer as it says 220 v compatible, is the hertz dual as well? Is there a place in Germany I can buy this or is it going to be purchase and ship overseas, also do those go on sale at all? Do you all have anything that is 220 that could replace the blender? Same questions regarding dual hertz and shipping on that as well.

Using LG Gas Range on 50Hz Electricity?
I am an audiophile that has relocated from Colorado to the island of Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean where the AC frequency is 50Hz. Available voltages are 127V (somewhat unstable supply) or 220V (a stable supply). In addition to my audio system, I would like to convert parts of my home to 110-120V @ 60Hz, too (e.g., TVs, kitchen appliances, small guitar amps, etc.). I am flexible on the best ways to do this, and am open to suggestions. I can send power specs for most of my audio equipment. I have mostly Audio Research tube components, but also Bryston solid-state and other miscellaneous solid-state gear. I am looking into whether our 220V supply is single- or three-phase. I would like your help in both design and purchase of power converters for both my stereo and parts of my home.
