Tingobap Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hello there I am very new to this wonderful world of electronics, I need help in finding or designing a unit that will in AC 110-120 50hz and output AC110-120 60hz. I will be running a maximum of 5 to 10 amps. Any help/advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Use the 120VAC 50Hz to drive a 110V 60Hz motor driving an alternator. Use magic to adjust the frequency Make an audio amplifier powered from 120VAC 50Hz with 120VAC 10A (1200W!) output and feed it a 60Hz sinewave.

Tingobap Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks so much for your reply but I was more thinking of a small box of sort that I could take around with me if needs be. Something like the attached image. 12x8 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 If you make a circuit that uses high frequency pulse-width-modulation for making the 60Hz sinewave then its could be 90% efficient and produce "only" 120W of heat when its output is 1200W. Then it would need a pretty big heatsink with cooling fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingobap Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 So the next question is how what’s the next step in designing a unit like that and ofcouse the cost? I can plug in a soldering iron and touch some solder on it but that’s it as far as my electronics skills are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryA Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 One can go from 50hz ac to 12 vdc via battery charger then from 12 vdc battery to 60hz 120v via a dc to ac converter. see: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=50hz+to+60hz+converter&&view=detail&mid=3D9219028DABBB0162A53D9219028DABBB0162A5&&FORM=VDRVRV&ajf=60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
