AN ANSWER TO THE QUESTION
CAN 60 HZ TRANSFORMERS BE OPERATED AT 50 HZ?
Will A 60 Hz Transformers
Work at 50 Hz? Answers and Links
Transformers rated below 1
KVA cab be used on 50 Hz service. Transformers 1 KVA and larger,
rated at 60 Hz, should not be used on 50 Hz service due to the higher
losses and resultant heat rise. Special designs are required for this
service. However, any 50 Hz transformer will operate on a 60 Hz
service.

Can transformers be
operated at various frequencies?
A 60 Hz design is normally
smaller than a 50 Hz design. For kind information please DO NOT use
60 Hz rated transformers on 50 Hz service. Without exacting designs,
higher losses and greater heat rise will result. Operating 60 Hz
transformers at higher frequencies may simply give less voltage
regulation.

Can 60 Hz transformers be
used on 50 Hz?
Yes. 60 Hz transformers can
be used on 50 Hz if special precautions are taken. The change in
frequency will impact the flux density of the transformer causing it
to run hot, as if it were overloaded. To offset this effect, you must
decrease the input voltage by approximately 17% (1/6th). This means
that a transformer rated for a 480 Volt, 60 Hz input could run at 50
Hz but with a maximum input voltage of 398 volts.

You might ask, why is it
that there is a variation in frequency?
History, politics, and
science is the reason. To know what we mean, visit this site for a
