Hi, Can anyone suggest a good transformer that can convert 240V 50 Hz to 120V 60Hz ? Thanks.

Best answer
A transformer won't convert 50-60Hz, you need a convertor for that. VERY expensive. If you are only really needing 240V to 120V that's easy and inexpensive.

You can't change the frequency with a transformer. Check whether your appliance can work at both 50 & 60Hz - most things should do unless they use the mains for timing (e. g. AC motors). If it doesn't like the alternative frequency, then you'll have a much more expensive requirement.
