If you have not already done so, I would suggest posting your
question on the emc-pstc listserver, where there are many more
qualified people.

Form my power supply days (years ago) here are some thoughts:

1.  If your load is resistive, e.g. a hair dryer, it will make
    little diffewrence.

2.  If your load is inductive/capacitive, e.g. a motor, it may
    overheat when run at 20% higher frequency, i.e. higher speed.

3.  If the unit uses a switched mode power supply, it may not
    perform properly at the higher freq.

Hi! Happy New Year!

May I pls. know what's the difference between a 60Hz And a 50 Hz AC.
What will happen or the consequences if I use a an appliance rated
for 50 Hz to a 60 Hz AC power supply.

Thanks.
