B&K 200.7: Can I switch the power from 115V 60 cycle to 240V 50 cycle for use in Germany?

Moving to Germany from the U.S. and want to take my B&K Ref 200.7 amp. Can the power supply be changed internally to accept 240V 50 Cycle?

    Hi John, thanks for the answer. I think I have a line on someone in Germany who will know how to open it up and do the necessary switches. I also have a couple of other components that the step down transformer will be needed. They do not have the possibility to switch on the inside. Do you know if a step down transformer will also switch the 50 hertz power to 60 hertz, along with the voltage drop? Or is that an issue?

Yes it is possible, but you will need to go to www.b&k.com contact customer support and the technical department for modification. If that is not possible you should be able to purchase a step down transformer in Germany to convert 240V to 120V.

    That should not be an issue.

power supplies are from 220 to 240 volts ac will work but what are the cycles if it is 50 cycles it won't work for 60 cycles
check the power supply available in the area you wish to use it and if it is not the same , leave it behind and get a new one that is sold in NZ

Need to transform 120v power to 240v

Bad news:

UK has 50 Hz electricity, and appliances are rated for local power..
Any appliance made for US market is rated 60 Hz.
50 Hz and 60 Hz electricity are different.

Look at label on your mixer, and then look at labels on local appliances. You will see 50 cycles or 60 cycles. Rarely appliances are labeled 50-60 cycles.
http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity.htm#voltage
http://waterheatertimer.org/See-inside-main-breaker-box.html#Hz
http://waterheatertimer.org/What-is-3-phase-electric.html#120-240

Hz Hertz or cycles or frequency is number of rotations the electric generator turns per second.

Some appliances are rated 50-60 cycles and will work worldwide.
However most appliances are rated 50 or rated 60 but not both.
60 cycle motor will not perform as expected when connected to 50 cycles. And might overheat.
Generally, most motors can be converted to different voltages by taking motor to motor shop (if you can find one these day)
However electronic controls cannot be converted between 120V and 230V, nor will 50 Hz electronics work with 60 Hz power

Sorry Sue.
Buy another mixer.
Business will benefit from surge of consumer buying.

I have a 3/4 hp Flotec 4022 pump. Prior to that I had a goulds 1 hp pump on the same 120 circuit with no issues. The Goulds pump housing started to go so I replaced it. Since replacing it with the Flotec I...

Hi Eglenni,

Here are the specs for your pump:

Thermoplastic Shallow Well Jet Pump 3/4 HP. This new revision of an "old hand" provides good pressure pumping from wells where the depth-to-water is 25' or less.

BODY CONSTRUCTION: Thermoplastic
HORSEPOWER: 3/4
MAXIMUM CAPACITY: 12 GPM
FLOW at 10' LIFT and 40 PSI: 9.7 GPM
MAX LIFT: 25'
MAXIMUM PRESSURE: 78 psi
PRESSURE SWITCH SETTING: 30/50
SUCTION PIPE SIZE: 1-1/4" NPT
DISCHARGE PIPE SIZE: 1" NPT
AMP DRAW (full load): 6.1 amps on 230v / 12.2 amps on 115v
VOLTAGE: 230v / 115v, 60 Hz
RECOMMENDED BREAKER: 15 amp on 230v / 20 amp on 115v
MAXIMUM WATER TEMPERATURE: 140 °F (60 °C)
=========================================
Note that this pump can be operated at 115 volts or 230 volts (A/C) It may have come wired for 230 volt use from the vendor.

Make sure the pump is piped correctly.


There should be a wiring diagram either on the pump or in the literature so you can check to see how the pump is wired.

MAKE SURE
you have the pump wired for 115 volt use in your case. Also make sure the wire size is #12 awg for the power wiring.
Make sure all connections are tight. If you have an amprobe (an instrument that measures electric current) you can check to see how many amps the pump is pulling when it runs.

You said your old pump was 1 HP. This Flotec pump is 3/4 horse so there could be some pump performance loss depending on the well depth and length of the piping runs.

Here's the link to the website for the pump. There are additional resources available on the website:

Missing power cord

HELLO AND NO YOUR AMP SUPPLY IS'NT THE RIGHT AMOUNT YOUR CORD ONLY SUPPLIES 2.5 AND YOUR T.V. CALLS FOR 5.2 IT'LL RUN YOUR T.V. BUT THE REASON IT WONT WORK IS BECAUSE YOUR T.V. WILL PULL 5.2 AMPS AND YOUR CORD IS ONLY RATED FOR 2.5 IN TIME THE CORD WILL BURN OUT OR GET HOT AND CAUSE A POSSABLE FIRE.

Inverter problem

If you got the store bought APC 350 UPS, you most likely overloaded them, and killed them beyound repair.

People should never buy a 350VA. They are way to small for power supplies most of us now have. you need to start out to 1000VA plus you need to do the math to figure out how big of a UPS you actually need in the show room.
What am I talking about? What is the significant, or the math of what I am saying here. 115V x 1 amps = 115VA x .778 power factor = 89.47 watts Start up 50 watts = 39.47 watts
115V x 2 amps = 230VA x .778 power factor = 178.94 watts Start up 50 watts = 128.94 watts
115V x 3 amps = 345VA x .778 power factor = 268.41 watts Start up 50 watts = 218.41 watts
115V x 4 amps = 460VA x .778 power factor = 357.88 watts Start up 50 watts = 307.88 watts

115V x 6 amps = 690VA x .778 power factor = 536.82 watts Start up 50 watts = 486.82 watts
115V x 7 amps = 805VA x .778 power factor = 626.29 watts Start up 50 watts = 576.29 watts
115V x 8 amps = 920VA x .778 power factor = 717.76 watts Start up 50 watts = 667.76 watts
115V x 9 amps = 1035VA x .778 power factor = 805.23 watts Start up 50 watts = 755.23 watts
115V x 10 amps = 1150VA x .778 power factor = 894.70 watts Start up 50 watts = 844.70 watts
115V x 11 amps = 1265VA x .778 power factor = 984.17 watts Start up 50 watts = 934.17 watts
115V x 12 amps = 1380VA x .778 power factor = 1073.63 watts Start up 50 watts = 1023.63 watts
115V x 13 amps = 1495VA x .778 power factor = 1163.11 watts Start up 50 watts = 1113.11 watts
115V x 14 amps = 1610VA x .778 power factor = 1252.58 watts Start up 50 watts = 1202.58 watts
115V x 15 amps = 1725VA x .778 power factor = 1342.05 watts Start up 50 watts = 1292.05 watts
115V x 16 amps = 1840VA x .778 power factor = 1431.52 watts Start up 50 watts = 1387.52 watts
115V x 17 amps = 1955VA x .778 power factor = 1520.99 watts Start up 50 watts = 1470.99 watts
115V x 18 amps = 2070VA x .778 power factor = 1610.46 watts Start up 50 watts = 1560.46 watts
115V x 19 amps = 2185VA x .778 power factor = 1699.93 watts Start up 50 watts = 1649.93 watts
115V x 20 amps = 2300VA x .778 power factor = 1789.40 watts Start up 50 watts = 1739.40 watts
