Re: "Reliable sources needed"
Good day Wtshymanski. You left a comment on my talk page. I've replied at Talk:Maglite#Thermal management article section. With kind regards, --Unforgettableid (talk) 01:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Buck-Boost transformer Frequency?
I saw your edit on this page regarding frequency. This paragraph confuses me and I would like to make the English clearer.
All transformers operate only with alternating current. Transformers change only voltage, not frequency. Equipment that uses synchronous motors will operate at a different speed if operated at other than the design frequency. Some equipment is marked on its nameplate to run at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and would need only the voltage adjusted with a buck–boost transformer.
How do you understand the intended meaning of this paragraph?
- that incorrect application of frequency (50/60) can be compensated for by voltage?
- that buck-boost transf. cannot compensate for wrong frequency?
- a confused paragraph (maybe unrelated) and could be removed from the article?
After you replaced some text, I am stumped on it's meaning intent and would like your input. Ideas? Thanks 174.118.142.187 (talk) 05:30, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

- For one thing: What are frequency comments doing in a transformer article?
- "Some equipment is marked on its nameplate to run at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and would need only the voltage adjusted with a buck–boost transformer."
- Doesn't that sound like nonsense? Another editor has attempted a smooth-over also but I still don't like it, yet. I didn't want to remove or edit it unless I understood what you felt it was supposed to be doing in this article. Thanks. 174.118.142.187 (talk) 03:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
