Hi!
I have a hair trimmer from the US that needs 110v, 60hz to work properly. I live in sweden and the local voltage here is 230v, 50hz. With a 230-110v transformer I get the right voltage but the frequency remains at 50hz. So when I turn the trimmer on it gets VERY noisy. And the reason for this is because the cutting part that goes to back and forth hits the edges of trimmer and therefore makes the noise.
A frequency converter is very expensive so I was thinking about buying a 230vac to 24vdc (or 12v) converter with a car cigarette plug. And from there plug a 24vdc to 110vac 60hz converter to the cigarette plug.
Do you think it will work? Or will the 24vdc be converted to 110vac, 50hz because of the fact that I live in Sweden?
Thanks in advance!
