# A recent article asked about moving a PC to a 220V/50hz country.

Mr. Fair commented about motor speed and sync problems.
First I cannot believe his turntable sped up, not slowed down.
But more importantly, the real problem is power transformers.
A 60 hz xfmr run on 50 hz will have insufficient iron. With its
lower reactance, it will overheat at the lower freq, and often
*smoke*. However some equipment is designed to handle the lower
freq. (Example most HP stuff) And it is designed to handle 220
to boot.
