Really ??The garbage disposers that I know about use a 4 diode rectifier to run a brushed DC motor. Frequency is a small problem in that case.
My concern is running a 60Hz one at 50Hz.There are also quite a few that operate with induction motors, if so it will run a little slower, check to see if it shows rpm, if it is an odd number such as 1740rpm then the odds are it is a 4 pole induction.

In my teenage years of the 1960s/70s, I was a handyman for the apartment building where my parents lived and very familiar with garbage disposers. Most were cheapy brands that had induction motors, but General Electric's "Disposall" had a DC series motor that was very hard to stall.The garbage disposers that I know about use a 4 diode rectifier to run a brushed DC motor. Frequency is a small problem in that case.
Ya.....I recommended 1500VA and he said he is getting a 2000W one from Srilanka.1.2Kva min, a 1.5Kva would be the best choice.

You know what !The transformer will probably cost more than a new garbage disposal.
