frequency converter ?

[DTSFA]

I am in need of a 240v 50hz to 240v 60hz converter, capable of handling loads to 10A

please can anyone suggest any suitable supplies ?

I believe there are UPS systems that take 240V 50/60 Hz input and provide 60 Hz output. Check Liebert, APC, etc...

Don't get stuck on the 240V, that's a nominal figure. 230V is the utilization voltage and will work too unless you have a very specific need.



Best to you,

thanks again

will take a look,

I've gone the other way in the past (60 Hz to 50 Hz) with a DC supply and a marine (i.e. watercraft) inverter. It wasn't the most efficient setup but it worked for me.

To do this right, you really must consider the type of load you have and what it needs. If it is just an AC 3 phase motor, any VFD can do this. Servo motors likely use a converter to change the AC to DC too, they rarely care about input frequency. If it is any other type of converter, ie power supply, it may not care at all, or it may be very sensitive, which means that inexpensive square wave UPS systems may make it worse. If it is resistive heating, it will not care, but if the heaters are controlled by SCR power controllers, they might. There is just no simplistic answer in the absense of more detail.
