American Voltages & Htz in Aus with a transformer
First post, been lurking for years, great knowledgebase and great humour. But less of the praise and down to business.
I want to buy a Drill Doctor http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Drill-Doctor
<o></o>
This DD750x model won’t be in 240volt production until next year, and the prices of the last models in Aus are just huge.
<o></o>
I have a 240 to 110Volt transformer, but my question is what about the difference in Htz. In the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1>US</st1></st1:country-region> they work on 60 Htz, here in Aus we are 50 Htz.
<o></o>
Should I buy it? or will it burn out, blow up etc. Or will it just be a bit slower?
<o></o>
Technical advice would be appreciated.
As usual, rock solid advice
Thanks all for answering my question, I have just ordered the Drill Doctor, I will advice the Forum of my progress.
