Comment on Does the 50Hz & 60Hz difference matter at all or not?

Transformers are a fixed ratio, they will convert 110->12v, or 240 to 25ish volts. So a 110v transformer on 240v will most likely fry its device.
The frequency mostly doesn’t matter, but some old oven clocks used grid frequency to keep track of time, which was an issue recently: theguardian.com/…/european-clocks-lose-six-minute…

I know that 60Hz is faster than 50Hz, since I’ve shipped an air fryer from a country with 50Hz to a family friend who lives in one with 60Hz. There were issues with the heat element, as it turns out their food is overcooked despite us having miminal differences with voltage (230 vs 220).

At most, i would expect the fan in the airfryer to spin faster, but i don’t believe there is a relationship between frequency and power.
Resistive heating elements in airfryers should also be unaffected by frequency.
My guess is that heating element is tuned for 220v, but at 230v it goes to a much higher temperature? Or they suck at cooking :)
