RE: Stepping up 120v - 240v - can the Hz be converted too?

They make up for it offpeak, at least here in NZ,



Its not uncommon to see line powered clocks to drop back a couple of mins
and then catch up again.

I agree.

I read somewhere that the frequency is reduced when there is high load on
the grid. So even if you could fix it you'd have a clock that would run
slow during the ad breaks for popular tv shows. ;-)

I'm sure lots of people on this list are monitoring their power usage, but
is anyone monitoring this?

I have a linev graph for my ups but I'm not sure this varies in a similar
way.
