Very cool explanation, thank you! It's interesting how a non-linear reaction suddenly occurs above a particular threshold. Sort of a "if it rains it pours" situation. The shenanigans that conductors can get up to in the presence of a bit of electromagnetism is both delightful and astounding.
Could you explain further about the saturation and magnetic noise? Is saturation when the magnetic field generated by the conductor is at its maximum?
The one thing I found re magnetic noise is talking about Barkhausen Effect which I'm pretty sure is not what you're referring to.
The other...
Well it's a WAHL Super Taper II and there is an adjustment screw on the side. I was very hopeful after reading your comment and hooked it up again. After fiddling around, I turned the screw out almost to the point that it's falling out and the noise suddenly stopped! You have saved me a serious...
Thanks very much for all the information. It seems changing frequency won't be worth me pursuing. I'd just like to rule out the transformer as the possible cause of the issue. As I said, the clipper does run, but with almost ear-splitting noise.
The transformer that I bought is quite heavy...
Hi
I have a US hair clipper that requires 120V/60Hz. It's power rating is 11W. Tried running the device with a 50W transformer that converted 240V to 120V but the motor makes a huge amount of noise. I guess the vibration dampening was designed to handle the motor working at 60Hz.
Looking...
