Suggest finding a spec sheet for it and checking there. If not stated there, contact the manufacturer.

Question:
If you have a cathodic protection panel rated for 60 Hz will it work for 50 Hz?

Well, electrical cathodic protection systems are DC, so your unit is mainly a rectifier, which has nothing to do with frequency. So from that standpoint alone it shouldn't matter. The problem is, there are likely other components involved in the control and monitoring of it that might. We have no way of knowing, only the mfr will be able to answer that as mgookin said.

I'm inclined to the view that it could work on 230V 50Hz but the manufacturers phone number is there. Why not give them a call?
Or post you question on their website:

MATCOR offers cathodic protection rectifiers in every standard configuration, including air-cooled, oil cooled and explosion proof. The rectifiers are available in almost any voltage and current output.

In my opinion, a transformer rated 60 Hz at the same voltage at 50 Hz will be hotter since the magnetic flux increased -and even the resistance, due to reduced skin effect, will be less a bit. If the magnetic core-the laminates-is suitable designed it could be o.k. However the manufacturer has to be consulted.

Just reduce the supply voltage to 50/60 and you're good to go, IMO.
