John, I'm referring to the basic frequency difference only, and the remark was targeted to others in industries like ours, based in the land of 60Hz and exporting into 50Hz territory. Because stuff works on 60Hz, and linear transformers can take care of the nominal voltage difference between 120 and 230V it is tempting for sales departments to ignore the down rating required to avoid premature saturation of cores at 50Hz.
I was attempting to give the engineers a 'heads up' because this fact of life is not going away and will continue to plague US manufacturers who are less than thorough in their market evaluations.
