Heat-------possible failure----------bigger problems.
Transformer was designed with impedance calculations based on 60Hz.

Slower speed too.

The transformer is moving?

I am sure he means it is vibrating slower. :angel:
And I'm just as sure that your interpretation accurately reflects what he intended...........
No..The flux in the transformer is moving at a slower speed due to lower frequency (actully causing the pro.blems B mentioned).'

The magnetic flux in the core is not moving, it is just varying in magnitude over time.
The speed at which flux lines cutting a conductor in transformer is in direct proportion to frequency.

Unlike a motor where the flux in a loop changes as the flux lines "cutting" the loop change because of relative motion, the flux through a loop in a transformer changes as the amplitude of the flux changes (more or fewer flux lines in existence.)
An ideal transformer (with few exceptions) has no moving parts. Not even moving flux lines.
The real transformer will hum at a different frequency though.
