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 around the forum I found https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/230v-50hz-to-110v-60hz-frequency-change.97357/ with a circuit diagram for converting the frequency.
The description of that solution is a bit too technical for me and I have some questions. Would that solution work for converting mains power? Is there a simpler way to do this, maybe by butchering the transformer and hacking some stuff into it? I don't understand the jargon, what is a PLL and what is the PLL technique?
If you could help this noob out, my beard would appreciate it
