Incorrect AC Frequency

Single-phase AC power in the United States fluctuates at 60Hz, but Great Britain and some other countries use AC power at 50Hz. Many power transformers are rated to be compatible with either frequency, but if a transformer is specifically designed for 60Hz, it may eventually fail by overheating if it is used with a 50Hz supply. (A 50Hz transformer can be used safely with 60Hz AC.)

Also known as an AC adapter. When packaged as a palm-sized plastic package that plugs directly into a power outlet, it is occasionally known colloquially as a wall-wart.
