General

Can I use a PowerXchanger to convert 50Hz European equipment to operate in U.S. 60Hz factories?

Yes, that’s exactly what PowerXchanger is designed to do. It converts both the voltage and the frequency so your 50 Hz European equipment can run reliably on U.S. 60 Hz power at industrial and factory sites.

This ensures motors, tools, and sensitive electronics operate at their intended speed and performance. Always confirm the voltage and power rating of your equipment to choose the right PowerXchanger model.

How do I know if I need a frequency converter or a voltage transformer?

A voltage transformer only changes the voltage, while a frequency converter changes both voltage and frequency.

If your equipment label shows it supports both 50/60 Hz, you usually only need a transformer to match the voltage. If it specifies a single frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz only), then you will need a frequency converter to run it properly.

Always check the rating plate on your device to determine which solution is required.

Shipping

Do you ship to military addresses (APO/FPO/DPO)?

Yes. We ship to APO, FPO, and DPO military addresses via USPS. If you have any special instructions or requirements for delivery, feel free to include them at checkout or email us at contact@powerxchanger.com and we’ll be happy to assist.

Technology

What is the difference between a voltage transformer and a frequency converter?

Voltage transformers adjust the voltage level (e.g., from 230 V down to 110 V), protecting your devices from overvoltage
damage.

Frequency converters ensure that the electrical frequency (50 Hz vs. 60 Hz) matches what your device was built for.

Why Do Some PowerXchanger converters have UL and CE certification and others have CE only?

We’re actually somewhat unique in that our Deluxe and Slimline Step-Down series carry UL, CE, and IEC certifications. The IEC certification is particularly valuable because it allows these models to be incorporated into a larger system and used as part of a joint certification. In other words, when paired with another device, the combined product can obtain international safety approvals more easily, something many manufacturing customers rely on when designing domestic equipment they also want available to global markets.

For our Step-Up Series (such as the UX-3K) and the EX Step-Down Series, we pursued CE certification because these models were originally engineered for international applications where CE compliance is the primary requirement. UL certification is optional for this category of power conversion equipment and CE certification fully covers the applicable safety and EMC standards for their intended markets.

If you have any specific compliance requirements for your facility or project, we’re happy to review them and confirm compatibility. Send us an email at contact@powerxchanger.com

Why does the frequency matter?

Because so many devices, from washing machines and CPAP
Machines to audio equipment, kitchen appliances, and tools all rely on precise
timing or motor speed governed by the mains frequency. Run a 60 Hz-designed
motor or compressor at 50 Hz, and it will spin slower, draw more current,
overheat, or fail altogether.
