We live on our H456 in Hong Kong. Power here is 220V 50Hz. Running a transformer on the dock to make 2 channels of 110V but at only 50Hz, not the standard 60Hz that the boat expects. Are there major issues with this? I suspect slower electric motors, but what about charging batteries, annodes, corrosion, reverse polarity, etc.? We do show a small glow from the reverse polarity light(goes out when gen started), and galvanic isolator doesn't seem to want to work. Should we try to find a transformer to do the Hz conversion too or are the problems just minor? Thanks.
