ive ordered a kitchen hood thats 220V50HZ, but do i need 240V/60hz ive ordered it from china?

Question

thanks to all that answer

Answer 1

220v 50hz will be fine, no problem at all. The UK runs on a 50hz cycle, not 60 hz (though this may not make a huge difference) but there is tolereance of plus or minus 10% on electrical supplies so therefore 220v will be more than sufficient

Answer 2

If you're in the UK, you need 240v 50Hz. The one you've ordered will work, but if you use it on full power all the time, the motor might give up after a few months.

Having said that, I've got a 1950s 200v hair drier that's still going strong (apart from having a new flex around 1980).

Answer 3

The current uk voltage and frequency cycle is 230v 50hz.
The appliance you ordered will be fine. The 50hz basically means that the alternating voltage that comes out of your plug socket alternates between 0 volt plus 230 volt and minus 230 volts and 50 times per second.

the frequecy is fine, and the extra 10 volt will be fine as every appliance although rated at a voltage as a certain percentage scope either way controlled by modern switch mode power supplies.

Any more info feel free to ask..

Answer 4

You are of course aware that ordering electronic items from China is very risky?

Most of the time, they don't actually arrive, and those that do are very poorly made and pose a serious fire risk.

Answer 5

if you are in the us you need to make sure that it is 220/50. if you dont know what you are doing an electrician could run you a new line from your breaker box and maybe a new breaker.

Answer 6

Why from china?? Think about your carbon footprint

Answer 7

Are you UK.? You need 240v 60 cycle.
